An 80-gram sample of water at 10c absorbs 400 calories of heat energy what is the final temperature of the water?

We have that 80 grams of water absorbs 400 calories of heat energy. This energy will cause the temperature of the water to rise. The equation that relates the heat absorbed by  the water to the change in temperature  , the specific heat and the mass is ,

The known values in this problem are the temperature of the water , the mass of the water , the specific heat capacity of  water is . We also know that the water absorbs 400 calories of energy. We know that 1 calorie is equivalent to 4.184J of energy. From this we can gather that the water absorbs of energy.

We then have to make , the subject of the formula and substitute in the given values to for the variables as shown below,

The temperature of the water increases by 5C. The final temperature of the water is then 15C.

Answer : The final temperature of the water is .

Solution : Given,

Mass of water = 80 g

Initial temperature =

Heat energy = 400 calories = (400 × 4.18) J           (1 cal = 4.18 J)

Formula used :

where,

Q = specific heat capacity

m = mass of water

c = heat capacity =

= initial temperature

= final temperature

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

Therefore, the final temperature of the water is .

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
