Use the specific heat of water to determine how much heat is required to raise the temperature of 50.0g of water from 35oc to 55oc.

There is 4184 Joule of energy required

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of water = 50.0 grams

Initial temperature of water = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 55.0 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the heat

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the heat transfer (in Joules)

⇒ m = the mass of water = 50.0 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change of temperature of the water = T2 - T1 = 55.0°C - 35.0 °C = 20.0 °C

Q = 50.0g * 4.184 J/g°C * 20.0 °C

Q = 4184 J

There is 4184 Joule of energy required
