The thermal energy (Q) needed : = 1882.8 J
Further explanation
Given
15g water from 25 °C to 50 °C
Required
The thermal energy (Q)
Solution
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Input the value :
Q = 15 g x 4.184 J/g°C x (50 °C- 20 °C)
Q = 1882.8 J
