Answer:

Q = 20377.5 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 75g

Initial temperature = 65°C

Final temperature = 0°C

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

To find the quantity of heat released;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;


Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;


Q = 75 * 4.18 * 65

Q = 20377.5 Joules
