Step-by-step explanation:
You can calculate the temperature change using the formula:
ΔT = Q / (m * c)
Where:
ΔT = Temperature change (in °C)
Q = Heat added (in joules)
m = Mass of water (in grams)
c = Specific heat of water (in J/g°C)
Given:
Q = 3250 J
m = 45 g
c = 4.186 J/g°C
ΔT = 3250 J / (45 g * 4.186 J/g°C)
ΔT ≈ 18.5°C
So, the temperature of the water increases by approximately 18.5 degrees Celsius.
