What quantity of heat is required to change the temperature of 0.05kg of water from 40°c to 100°c

1 answer

The specific heat capacity of water is 4186 J/kg°C.

The initial temperature of the water is 40°C and the final temperature is 100°C.

The change in temperature is 100°C - 40°C = 60°C.

The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of the water can be calculated using the formula:

Q = m * c * ΔT
Q = 0.05kg * 4186 J/kg°C * 60°C
Q = 12,558 J

Therefore, 12,558 Joules of heat is required to change the temperature of 0.05kg of water from 40°C to 100°C.
