Question

3. Burns from boiling water can be severe, caused by the transfer of energy from the boiling water to the

Answer 1

Answer:

Q = 3937.56  J

Explanation:

Heat transferred due to change in temperature is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

c is the specific heat of water, c=4.18 J/g-°C

We have, m = 15 g, $T_i=100^{\circ} C\ \text{and}\ T_f=37.2^{\circ} C$

So,

$Q=15\times 4.18\times (37.2-100)\\Q=-3937.56\ J$

Hence, 3937.56  J of heat is transferred.
