What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 20 grams of water from 10°C to 30°C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C.

Respuesta :

Q=MCdeltaT
*make sure you change celcius into Kelvin*
Q=20(4.18)(20)
Q=1,672

It requires 1,672 Joules

Answer : The amount of heat required is, 1672 J

Solution :

Formula used :

[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})[/tex]

where,

Q = heat required = ?

m = mass of water = 20 g

c = specific heat of water = [tex]4.18J/g^oC[/tex]      

[tex]\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature}[/tex]  

[tex]T_{final}[/tex] = final temperature = [tex]30^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_{initial}[/tex] = initial temperature = [tex]10^oC[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the amount of heat required.

[tex]Q=20g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (30-10)^oC[/tex]

[tex]Q=1672J[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of heat required is, 1672 J
