A flask containing 855 grams of water was heated. If the temperature of the water was raised from 21.0 to 85.0 degrees Celsius, how much heat (in joules) did the water absorb? the specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184J/g per C

The heat absorbed by the water is 228,948.48 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

In this way, between heat and temperature there is a direct proportional relationship (Two magnitudes are directly proportional when there is a constant so that when one of the magnitudes increases, the other also decreases; and the same happens when either of the two decreases .). The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat and the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the variation in temperature.

In this case:

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 *855 g* 64 C

Solving:

Q= 228,948.48 J

The heat absorbed by the water is 228,948.48 J

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
