in a chemical reaction the temperature of a 150 gram water bath is raised 5°C. how many joules does the water absorb?

Question

Partial answer is 3XXX J

Answer 1

q = mC∆T

q = heat = ?

m = mass of water = 150 g

C = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g/deg

∆T = change in temperature = 5ºC

q = (150 g)(4.184 J/g/deg)(5 deg)

q = 3138 J
