Question

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Remember: cal=m*deltaT
(WRITE THE WORK!/Give explanation.)

I’ll give BRAINLIEST.

Answer 1

Answer:

12552 J or 3000 calories

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat energy (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

For 50mL of water, there are 50g, hence, m = 50g, c = 4.184 J/g°C, initial temperature = 0°C, final temperature = 60°C.

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 50 × 4.184 × (60 - 0)

Q = 209.2 × 60

Q = 12552 J

Hence, the amount of heat energy used to heat the water is 12552 J or 3000 calories
