Question

Calculate q (in units of joules) when 1.850 g of water is heated from 22 °C to 33 °C. Report only the numerical portion of your answer - do not include the symbol for the units.

Answer 1

When q is the heat energy in joules (J)

so, according to this formula, we can get q (in joule unit):

q = M*C*ΔT

when M is the mass of the water sample = 1.85 g

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C

and Δ T is the difference in temperature (Tf-Ti) = 33 - 22 = 11°C

So, by substitution, we will get the value of q ( in Joule):

∴ q = 1.85 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 11 °C

      = 85 J
