How much energy is required to heat 70 g of water at 20°C to boiling
(100°C) if the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C? Formula is Q=MCAT
29,288 J
23,430 J
5,858 J
35,146 J

Answer:

[tex]Q=23,430J[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since we compute the required energy via:

[tex]Q=mC\Delta T[/tex]

Whereas m is the mass which here is 70 g, C the specific heat which for water is 4.184 J/(g°C) and ΔT is the temperature difference which is:

[tex]\Delta T=100-20=80\°C[/tex]

Therefore, the energy turns out:

[tex]Q=70g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}*80\°C\\ \\Q=23,430J[/tex]

Best regards.
