The quantity of heat gained by the water can be calculated using the equation:
q = mcΔT
Where:
q = quantity of heat gained (in Joules)
m = mass of water (in grams)
c = specific heat of water (in J/g oC)
ΔT = change in temperature (in oC)
Given:
m = 500 g
c = 4.19 J/g oC
ΔT = 75.0 oC - 25.0 oC = 50.0 oC
Plugging these values into the equation:
q = 500 g * 4.19 J/g oC * 50.0 oC
q = 104750 J
Converting to kilojoules:
q = 104750 J / 1000 = 104.75 kJ
The quantity of heat gained by the water is 104.75 kJ.
Therefore, the correct answer is a) 10475 kJ.
Use the following information to answer the next question.
Ali places a beaker containing 500 g of water, with a thermometer inside, on a burner, and notes down the initial temperature of water as 25.0 oC. After 10.0 minutes, the temperature went up to 75.0 oC. The specific heat of water is 4.19 J/g oC.
The quantity of heat gained by the water is:

are you sure bot?
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's recalculate the quantity of heat gained by the water using the correct equation:
q = mcΔT
Given:
m = 500 g
c = 4.19 J/g oC
ΔT = 75.0 oC - 25.0 oC = 50.0 oC
Plugging these values into the equation:
q = 500 g * 4.19 J/g oC * 50.0 oC
q = 104750 J
Converting to kilojoules:
q = 104750 J / 1000 = 104.75 kJ
Apologies for the confusion earlier. The correct answer is indeed a) 10475 kJ.
