What is the amount of heat, in joules, required to increase the temperature of a 49.5-gram sample of water from 22°C to 66°C?
- (1) 9100 J
- (2) 4600 J
- (3) 1400 J
- (4) 2300 J
<u>Answer:</u>
9100 J is the amount of heat, in joules, required to increase the temperature of a 49.5-gram sample of water from 22°C to 66°C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given: Q = ? J
mass = 49.5 g = 0.0495 kg
T1 = 22°C
T2 = 66°C
Cp = 4.18 J/Kg°C
Q = mCpΔT
Q = (4.95)(4.18)(66 - 22)
Q = 9104 J
So 9100 J is the amount of heat, in joules, required to increase the temperature of a 49.5-gram sample of water from 22°C to 66°C.
