Water (2190 g ) is heated until it just begins to boil. If the water absorbs 5.83×105 J of heat in the process, what was the initial temperature of the water?

Answer:

The initial temperature was
36.4^\circ \:C

Step-by-step explanation:


\Delta t=(q)/(m\cdot C_s)=(5.83*10^5)/(2190* 4.184)\\\\=63.6^\circ\:C

The temperature difference
=100-63.6=36.4^\circ\:C

Best Regards!
