Question

If the specific heat of water is 4.18 3/g*^ C much heat is required to increase the temperature of 12 g of water from 23 degrees * C to 39 degrees * C ^ 2

Answer 1

Q = 802.6 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C

Mass of water = 12 g

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 39°C

Heat required = ?

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 = 39°C - 23°C

ΔT = 16 °C

Q = 12 g× 4.18 J/g.°C × 16 °C

Q = 802.6 J
