What is the number of calories needed to change the temperature of 50.0 grams of water 15.0 Celsius degrees?

1 answer

1st, i am not an expert in physics by any means. just a dad. but here is what i found on a google search.

1 calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1C, so...

It takes 50 calories to raise your 50 grams by 1C, but you need to raise it 15C. 50*15=750. 750 calories

hope this helps
