A flask containing 100 g of water is heated, and the temperature of the water increases from 21°C to 90°C. How much heat did the water absorb if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/gºC?
A. 289 J
B. 418.4 J
C. 28,870 J
D. 10,000 J

28869.6J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water in flask = 100g

Initial temperature   = 21°C

Final temperature  = 90°C

Specific heat capacity  = 4.184J/g°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat the water absorbed  = ?

Solution:

The amount f heat the water absorbed can be determined using the expression below:

 H  = m x C x Δt

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity of water

Δt is the change in temperature

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    H = 100 x 4.184 x (90 - 21)  = 28869.6J

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
