Question

How much heat energy, in calories, is needed to heat 150 grams of water from 20.4 C to 50. 7 C ?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Solution

With data of the particular heat capability of a substance, its mass, and therefore the action, we will convert this to the energy needed for this action using:

ΔH=mCΔT
, where
ΔH= modification in heat content (J)
m=mass of substance being heated (g) i.e. water during this question
C=specific heat capability (J/g°C)
ΔT= modification in temperature (°C)
