<span>magnesium cations (Mg </span><span>2+</span>) and oxide anions (<span>O 2</span>−<span>)</span>
When q is the heat energy in joules (J)
so, according to this formula, we can get q (in joule unit):
q = M*C*ΔT
when M is the mass of the water sample = 1.85 g
C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C
and Δ T is the difference in temperature (Tf-Ti) = 33 - 22 = 11°C
So, by substitution, we will get the value of q ( in Joule):
∴ q = 1.85 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 11 °C
= 85 J
