How many joules are required to heat 2 l of water in a pot from 20 ◦c to the boiling point of water? the specific heat of water
miss Akunina [59]
  The  joules  required  to   heat 2L  of  water  in  a  pot  from  20  c  to  the  boiling  point  of  water  is  calculated     using the following  formula

  Q=    MC  delta  T
M  = mass  =   density  x   volume(  2  x 1000= 2000ml)
M  =     1g/ml  x2000  ml  =  2000g
C  =  specific  heat   capacity =  4.18  g/c
delta  T  =  change  in  temperature  =  100 c (  boiling  point  of  water)   -  20 c =  80 c 
Q  is therefore  =   2000 g x 4.18 j/g c  x  80c  =  668800j

Like all equilibrium constants, the value of kw depends on temperature. at body temperature (37∘c), kw=2.4⋅10−14. part a what is
LenaWriter [7]
First, we have to know that we can put [H+] instead of [H3O+]

so, according to the reaction equation:

by using ICE table:

             H2O ↔  H+  +  OH-

initial                    0           0

change                +X         +X

Equ                       X             X

when Kw = [H+] [OH-]

and when we have Kw = 2.4 x 10^-14 

and when [H+] = [OH-] = X

∴ 2.4 x 10^-14 = X^2

∴ X = √(2.4 x 10^-14)

      = 1.55 x 10^-7

∴[H+] = 1.55 x 10^-7
