Question

PLEASE HELP ME ! A group of students performed an experiment in which they dropped a cube of metal into a graduated cylinder of water. The initial temperature of the water was 25 'C. The mass of the water was 50 g

After energy in the form of heat was transferred to the water, its temperature was 35 C. Based on the evidence, how much energy was transferred between the metal and the water?
0.2 cal
10 cal
so call
• 500 cal

Answer 1

The amount of energy transferred between the metal and the water is 500 cal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of energy transferred between the metal and the water can be calculated using the formula:

Energy = Mass of water × Specific heat of water × Change in temperature

Given that the initial temperature of the water was 25 °C and the final temperature was 35 °C, and the mass of the water was 50 g, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Energy = 50 g × 1 cal/g °C × (35 °C - 25 °C)

= 500 cal

Therefore, 500 cal of energy was transferred between the metal and the water.
