When the temperature of 0.50 kg of water decreases by 22 °C, the energy transferred to the surroundings from the water is -46.2 kJ.
A sample of 0.50 kg of water boils (reaches 100 °C). After a while, its temperature decreases by 22 °C.
We can calculate the energy transferred to the surroundings from the water in the form of heat (Q) using the following expression.
where,
- c: specific heat capacity of water
- m: mass of water
- ΔT: change in the temperature
