Question

If the specific heat of water is 1.0 calorie/gram°C, how many calories are required to raise 500 grams of water 10.0°C? 510 cal 5,000 cal 50 cal 501 cal

Answer 1

5000 calories Helps :)

Answer 2

Answer : Heat required, Q = 5000 cal

Explanation :

It is given that,

Specific heat of water, c = 1 calorie/gram °C

Mass of water, m = 500 grams

Change in temperature, $\DeltaT=10\ ^oC$

We have to found the amount of heat required. Mathematically, it can be written as :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$Q=500\times 1\times 10$

Q = 5000 cal

So, the correct option is (B) " 5000 cal ".

Hence, this is the required solution.
