Answer and explanation;

  • To calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of a known mass of a substance, we use the equation;

E = m × c × θ,

  • Where E is the energy transferred in joules, m is the mass of the substances in kg, c is the specific heat capacity in J/kg degrees C and θ is the temperature change in degrees C.
