How many grams of water would require 2200 joules of heat to raise it’s temperature from 34 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees celsius ? The specific heat of water is 4.18 j/gC ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass, m = 7.97 grams

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature was 34 degrees Celsius

Heat produced in it is 100 calories of heat

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g °C

The heat produced due to change in temperature is given by :

[tex]Q=mc(T_f-T_i)[/tex]

m is mass of water in grams

[tex]m=\dfrac{Q}{c(T_f-T_i)}\\\\m=\dfrac{2200}{4.18\times (100-34)}\\\\m=7.97\ g[/tex]

So, 7.97 grams of water is required to produce heat of 2200 joules.
