Answer: 0.15 g

Step-by-step explanation:

m = q / c×ΔT

m = 20 J / 4.84 J/ g C X (37.0 C - 5.0 C)

= 20 J / 4.184 J / g C X (32.0 C)

= 0.149 g

Answer:- mass of water is 0.15 g.

Solution:- This problem is based on the formula:


q=mC_s\Delta T

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass,
C_s is specific heat and
\Delta T is change in temperature.


\Delta T = final temperature - initial temperature


\Delta T = 37.0 - 5.0 = 32.0 degree C

m = ?

q = 20.0 J


C_s=(4.184J)/(g.^0C)

Let's plug in the values in the formula:


20.0J=m*(4.184J)/(g.^0C)*32.0^0C


20.0J=m*(133.888J)/(g)


m=20.0J((1g)/(133.888J))

m = 0.15 g

So, the mass of water for the given problem is 0.15 g.
