Question

What mass of water will change its temperature by 3.0 0C when 525 J of heat is added to it? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g 0C.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of water = 41.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = ?

Change in temperature = 3.0 °C

Specific heat capacity = 4.184 j/g.°C

Heat absorbed = 525 j

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

ΔT = 3.0°C

Now we will put the values in formula.

525 J = m × 4.184 j/g.°C  × 3.0°C

525 J = m × 12.552 j/g

m =  525 J/ 12.552 j/g

m = 41.8 g
