Question

8.0 Kg of water is heater from 20°C to 40°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/Kg °C. What is the energy supplied to the water?

Answer 1

Answer:

672000 J.

Explanation:

From the question,

q = cm(t₂-t₁)............................ Equation 1

Where q = heat energy supplied to the water, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

Given: m = 8.0 kg, c = 4200 J/kg°C, t₂ = 40°C, t₁ = 20°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

q = 8×4200×(40-20)

q = 8×4200×20

q = 672000 J.

Hence the energy suplied to the water is 672000 J.
