Chapter 3, Problem 83E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The change in temperature that takes place when $\text{248}\text{cal}$ of heat is added to a water of mass of $\text{24}\text{g}$ is be calculated.

Concept Introduction: The relationship between heat and change in temperature used to determine the amount of heat absorbed is

$q=mC\Delta T$

Here, $q$ is the amount of heat, $m$ is the mass of the substance, $C$ is the specific heat capacity, and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature.
