What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 15°C (the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M * ΔT * C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) * Change in temperature (ΔT) * Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g * 15°C * 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J
