Answer:
Approximately 2000 J.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Thermodynamics</u>
Specific Heat Formula: q = mcΔT
- <em>q</em> is heat (in J)
- <em>m</em> is mass (in g)
- <em>c</em> is specific heat (in J/g °C)
- ΔT is change in temperature (in °C or K)
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
[Given] <em>c</em> = 0.897 J/g °C
[Given] <em>m</em> = 79 g
[Given] ΔT = 28°C
[Solve] <em>q</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>q</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]: q = (79 g)(0.897 J/g °C)(28 °C)
- Multiply [Cancel out units]: q = (70.863 J/°C)(28 °C)
- Multiply [Cancel out units]: q = 1984.16 J
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs as our lowest.</em>
1984.16 J ≈ 2000 J
False. The answer is liter. kilo is the base (liter) times 1000. it would make no sense.
