Question

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 50.0 grams of water 10.0 degree C? (Explain yourself answer in joules!)

Answer 1

The amount of energy needed is 2093 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by the equation

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have

m = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg

$C=4186 J/g^{\circ}C$ (specific heat capacity of water)

$\Delta T=10.0^{\circ}C$

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is

$Q=(0.050)(4186)(10)=2093 J$
