Answer:
223.4J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Specific heat capacity of substance = 0.38J/g°C
Mass of substance = 42g
Initial temperature = 25°C
Final temperature = 39°C
Unknown:
Energy required to raise the temperature = ?
Solution:
The amount of heat required by the substances can be derived using the expression below;
H = m c Δt
H is the amount of heat energy
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
Δt is the change in temperature;
Δt = 39°C - 25°C = 14°C
Now insert the parameters and solve;
H = 42 x 0.38 x 14 = 223.4J
