Energy were released from the walnut, q = 1,673.6 J
<h3>Equation :</h3>
To find the energy using formula,
q = mcΔt
where,
q is charge
m is mass
c is specific heat of water
Δt is change in temperature
So, given
t₁ = 50°C
t₂ = 60°C
m = 40g
c = 4.184 J/g
Now putting the values known,
We get,
q = mc(t₂ - t₁)
q = 40g x 4.184 J/g x (60 - 50)
q = 167.36 J x 10
q = 1,673.6 J
<h3>What is heat energy?</h3>
Heat is the thermal energy that is transferred when two systems with different surface temperatures come into contact. Heat is denoted by the letters q or Q and is measured in Joules.
