Answer to Question #154948 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Katherine Torrez

Question

How much joules of heat will it take to increase the temperature of 6kg water 5 k ?

Answer 1

We can find the amount of heat from the formula:

$$Q=mc\Delta T,$$ $$Q=6\ kg\cdot 4180\ \dfrac{J}{kg\cdot K}\cdot 5\ K=1.254\cdot10^5\ J.$$

Answer:

$Q=1.254\cdot10^5\ J.$
