Answer:
Q = 60192 j
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of water = 0.45 L
Initial temperature = 23°C
Final temperature = 55°C
Amount of heat absorbed = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 55°C - 23°C
ΔT = 32°C
one L = 1000 g
0.45 × 1000 = 450 g
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g°C
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = 450 g. 4.18 j/g°C. 32°C
Q = 60192 j
