A sample of water (88 grams) had a temperature change of 6.0 ℃. What was the heat change of this sample? (q = m c ΔT, c = 4.18 J/ g ℃)

Answer:


Q=2209J

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the heat involved during a heating process is computed in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change as shown below:


Q=mC\Delta T

Thus, since the heated mass of water was 88 g, the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C and the temperature change is 6.0 °C, we can compute the heat as shown below:


Q=88g*4.184(J)/(g\°C)*6.0\°C \\\\Q=2209J

Best regards!
