1. How much heat (in calories) is needed to raise 20 g of H2O from 5°C to 40°C? (c = 1.0 cal/g °C)

700 calories

Explanation:

Using the formula below:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat required (calories)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat of substance (cal/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, the following information was provided;

Q = ?

m = 20g

c = 1.0 cal/g °C

∆T = 40°C - 5°C = 35°C

Using the formula; Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 20 × 1 × 35

Q = 700 calories

Hence, 700 cal of heat energy is needed to raise 20 g of H2O from 5°C to 40°C.
