Melting butter is a physical change. The statement that best describes what is happening is that the butter contains a new arrangement of atoms.
Answer:
5230J
Explanation:
Mass (m) = 250g
Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C
Final temperature (T2) = 30°C
Specific heat capacity (c) = 4.184J/g°C
Heat energy (Q) = ?
Heat energy (Q) = Mc∇T
Q = heat energy
M = mass of the substance
C = specific heat capacity
∇T = change in temperature = T2 - T1
Q = 250 × 4.184 × (30 - 25)
Q = 1046 ×5
Q = 5230J
The heat energy required to raise the temperature of 250g of water from 25°C to 30°C is 5230J
