q = mass x specific heat x delta T.

That's mass H2O x sp.h.H2O x delta T water.

do i use the 5.00 g or the 2.00 * 10^2 g?
Answered by laney
ok so it'd be
(2.00*10^2)(6.00 degree C) and then what would be the specific heat?
Answered by Kevin
specific heat of h2o is 4.184
Answered by laney
i got 5020.8
Answered by Kevin
you have to convert it from joules to calories and idk that off hand but other then that it looks good so far
Answered by laney
ok, we didn't do joules in class, so hopefully that's what my teacher wants. thank you!
