what do i do for this

Question

1. How many calories of heat are required to raise the temperature of 225g of water from 10.5^oC to 43.7^oC?

Use the equation: Q = mcΔT (C_water= 1.00cal/g^oC)

Answer 1

They tell you to use the equation q = mc∆T. So, let's do that.

q = heat = ?

m = mass = 225 g

c = specific heat of water = 1.00 cal/gº

∆T = change in temperature = 43.7º - 10.5º = 33.2º

Plug in the values and solve for q

q = (225 g)(1.00 cal/gº)(33.2º) = 7470 calories
