Question

how much heat, in terms in q, would it take to produce the change in temperature indicated in the picture? what is your reasoning?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. q.

2. 2q.

3. 3q.

4. 6q.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the specific heat capacity of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Heat (Q) = q

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

q = 25 × C × 20

q = 500C

Divide both side by 500

C = q/500

C = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of liquid is 2×10¯³ qg°C

Now, we shall determine the heat required to produce the various change in temperature as follow:

2. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 20

Q = 2q.

Therefore, the heat required is 2q.

3. Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 25 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 3q.

Therefore, the heat required is 3q.

4. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 6q.

Therefore, the heat required is 6q.
