Answer:

-54 J

Explanation:

Here we have to use the specific heat equation,

Q = mc∆T

where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and ∆T is the change of temperature.  

Given,  

m = 12 g

c = 2.5 J/g⋅°C

∆T  = Tfinal - Tinitial = 36.7 °C - 38.5 °C  = -1.8 °C

Plugging the numbers in the specific heat equation,

Q =  12 g  x 2.5 J/g⋅°C x - 1.8 °C = -54 J

As heat is released Q has a negative sign. When heat is absorbed Q has a positive sign.

a sample of water with a mass of 648.00 kg at 298 K is heated with 87 kh of energy. the specific heat of water is 1 J-1 kg K-1.
Stels [109]

q = mCΔT

The correct specific heat capacity of water is <em>4.187 kJ/(kg.K)</em>.

ΔT = q/mC = 87 kJ/[648.00 kg x 4.187 kJ/(kg.K)] = 87 kJ/(2713 kJ/K) = 0.032 K

Tf = Ti + ΔT = 298 K + 0.032 K = 298.032 K

Identify the units used to measure volume mass.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The metric system uses units such as meter, liter, and gram to measure length, liquid volume, and mass, just as the U.S. customary system uses feet, quarts, and ounces to measure these.

Volume: 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart

Mass: 1 kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds

Length: 1 centimeter is a little less than half an
