Question

If 4520 kj of heat is needed to boil a sample of water, what is the mass of water

Answer 1

Answer:

1,085g of water

Explanation:

If we have the value 4520kj is because the question is related to Energy and heat capacity. In this case, the law and equation that we use is the following:

                                                  Q= m*C*Δt  where;

Q in the heat, in this case: 4520kj

m is the mas

Δt= is the difference between final-initial temperature (change of temperature), in this exercise we don´t have temperatura change.

In order to determine the mass, I will have the same equation but finding m

                                          m= Q/C*Δt    without   m=Q/C

So: m= 4,520J/4.18J/g°C

      m= 1,0813 g
