100.0 g of 4.0°C water is heated until its temperature is 37.0°C. If the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C, calculate the amount of heat energy, in kilojoules, needed to cause this rise in temperature.

13.8072 kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 100.0 g

Initial temperature = 4.0 °C

Final temperature = 37.0°C

Specific heat capacity = 4.184 j/g.°C

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 = 37.0°C -  4.0 °C

ΔT = 33.0°C

Q = 100.0 g ×4.184 j/g.°C × 33.0°C

Q = 13807.2 j

Joule to KJ:

13807.2 j  × 1kj  /1000 j

13.8072 kj

it is a solid
