Answer:

When an electron in an atom has absorbed energy it is said to be in an excited state. An excited atom is unstable and tends to rearrange itself to return to its lowest energy state. When this happens, the electrons lose some or all of the excess energy by emitting light.

If 585.24 Joules of heat are added to 53.2 grams of water at 24.15oC, what will the new temp. be?

spayn [35]

E = mct
Energy = (mass) x (specific heat capacity of water) x (change in temp)

585.24 = 53.2 x 4.2 x (X-24.15)

585.24 divided by 53.2 divided by 4.2 = X - 24.15

2.62 = X - 24.15

X= 26.77degrees C

(Specific heat capacity for water is 4.2 but is different for other liquids)
