Question

A 10.0-gram sample of liquid water at 23.0°C absorbs 209 joules of heat.

Answer 1

Answer:

The final temperature of the water is 28.0 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of liquid water = 10.0 grams

Temperature = 23.0 °C

Heat absorbed = 209 Joules

Since heat was absorbed by the water, you must have a positive value for  

Δ T

Step 2: Calculate final temperature

q = m*c* ΔT

⇒ with m = the mass of the water = 10.0 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 -  T1 = T2 - 23.0 °C

⇒ with q = the heat absorbed = 209 Joule

209 = 10.0 * 4.184 * ΔT

ΔT = 5

ΔT = 5 = T2 - 23

T2 = 28 °C

The final temperature of the water is 28.0 °C
