Question

The specific heat capacity of sea water is 4100 J/Kg°C and the boiling point of 100.6 °C. (i) Calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of 0.900 kg of this sea water from 10 °C up to its boiling point. Also mention the equation to be used. *

Answer 1

334.314 (kJ)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the formula for the required energy is: Q=c*m(Bp-t), where c - 4100 J/kg*C; m - 0.9 kg; Bp - 100.6 C; t - 10 C.

2) according to the formula above:

Q=4100*0.9*(100.6-10)=41*9*906=334314 (J).
