Burning a nut raises the temperature of 100 grams of water from 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C. How much heat does the water gain? Heat is measured in calories. 1 calorie = 4.18 J

Answer 1

16 KJ or 16,720 J energy has gained by the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = m = 100 g

Temperature difference = ΔT= (60 - 20)∘C

specific heat of water 1 calorie = c = 4.18 J

To find:

Heat absorbed by water = q=?

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

Solution:

q = (100 g) x (4.18J/g ∘C) x (60 - 20)∘C

= 16,720 J
