Answer:
700 calories
Explanation:
Using the formula below:
Q = m × c × ∆T
Where;
Q = amount of heat required (calories)
m = mass of substance (g)
c = specific heat of substance (cal/g°C)
∆T = change in temperature (°C)
According to this question, the following information was provided;
Q = ?
m = 20g
c = 1.0 cal/g °C
∆T = 40°C - 5°C = 35°C
Using the formula; Q = m × c × ∆T
Q = 20 × 1 × 35
Q = 700 calories
Hence, 700 cal of heat energy is needed to raise 20 g of H2O from 5°C to 40°C.
