Answer:
m = 2 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial temperature = 45°C
Final temperature = 35°C
Heat evolved = 84 j
Mass of water = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g.°C
ΔT = 35°C - 45°C
ΔT = - 10°C
84 j = m ×4.18 J/g.°C ×- 10°C
84 j = m × -41.8 J/g
m = 84 j / -41.8 J/g
m = 2 g
negative sign shows heat is evolved.
