Answer to Problem 52A

The amount of energy required to heat 2.5kg of water from 18.5 °C to 55.0 °C is 3.8×105J .

Explanation of Solution

The amount of heat required for heating 2.5kg of water from 18.5 °C to 55.0 °C can be calculated using formula:

  q = mcΔT

Where q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and ΔT is change in temperature.

The specific heat capacity for the liquid water is 4.184J/g°C .

Substituting the values:

  q = 2.5 kg×1000 g1 kg×4.184 J/g°C×(55.0-18.5) °Cq = 10460 J/°C×(36.5) °Cq = 3.8×105 J

Hence, the amount of energy required to heat 2.5kg of water from 18.5 °C to 55.0 °C is 3.8×105J .

Conclusion

  3.8×105J is the amount of energy required to heat 2.5 kg of water from 18.5 °C to 55.0 °C .
