The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). How much energy is necessary to raise 15 g of water by 20 °C? (Use the equation Q = mcpΔT )

1254 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = mcpΔT Equation 1

Where Q = heat, m = mass of water, cp = specific heat capacity of water, ΔT = Change in temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 15 g, cp = 4.18 J/(g.°C), ΔT = 20°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 15×4.18×20

Q = 1254 J

Hence the amount of energy required is 1254 J

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
