Answer:
Q = 233.42 J
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of lead = 175 g
Initial temperature = 125.0°C
Final temperature = 22.0°C
Specific heat capacity of lead = 0.01295 J/g.°C
Heat absorbed by water = ?
Solution:
Heat absorbed by water is actually the heat lost by the metal.
Thus, we will calculate the heat lost by metal.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 22.0°C - 125.0°C
ΔT = -103°C
Q = 175 g × 0.01295 J/g.°C×-103°C
Q = -233.42 J
Heat absorbed by the water is 233.42 J.
