Hey, I'm struggling a bit with this thermal energy question:
One major cost in the brewing history is the cost of energy used in running a plant. Much of the heating plant is accomplished by the cooling and or condensing of steam.
When 50.0 mg of griest is heated from 25.0 C to 43.1 C the temperature of 560 Mg of steam decreases from 120.0 C to 117.0.
Calculate the heat capacity of the griest.
I know how to manipulate the formula, but how do I go from this?
I know I would have to first find the thermal energy.. but which mass do I use? And would I have to convert Mg to grams?
Thank you (:

I have no idea what griest is? Can you help. Is it a liquid, solid, gas? What's the specific heat?
