Answer:
m = 4450 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Amount of heat added = 4.45 Kcal ( 4.45 kcal ×1000 cal/ 1kcal = 4450 cal)
Initial temperature = 23.0°C
Final temperature = 57.8°C
Specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal/g.°C
Mass of water in gram = ?
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 = 57.8°C - 23.0°C
ΔT = 34.8°C
4450 cal = m × 1 cal/g.°C × 34.8°C
m = 4450 cal / 1 cal/g
m = 4450 g
