Question

How many calories of heat are required to raise the temperature of 1.00kg of water from 10.2 degrees Celsius to 26.8 degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the  temperature of substance by one degree mathmeticaly

Q=mcΔT

ΔT=T2-T1

ΔT=26.8-10.2=16.6

C for water is 4.184

therefore

Q=1.00*4.184*16.6

Q=69.4 j

now we have to covert joule into calorie

1 calorie =4.2 j

x calorie=69.4 j/2

so 69.4 j =34.7 calorie thats why 34.7 calorie heat is required to raise the temperature of water from 10.2 to 26.8 degree celsius
