When 25.0 grams of water are cooled from 20.0 degrees Celsius to 10.0 degrees Celsius the number of joules of heat energy released is?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1045 J of energy was released on cooling the down the water from 20 °C to 10 °C.

Explanation:

Specific heat of water : 4.18J/g °C(standard value)

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T=[/tex]

Q= Energy released

m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat value of a substance

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = Change in temperature

For 25 g of water the Q released when cooled down to 20 °C to 10 °C will be:

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T=25 g\times 4.18J/g ^oC\times (10^oC-20^oC)=-1045 J[/tex]

Q = -1045 J (negative sign indicates that energy is released)

1045 J of energy was released on cooling the down the water from 20 °C to 10 °C.


The quantity of heat energy released is 1046 J

From the question,

We are to determine the heat energy released,

From the specific heat formula,

Q = mcΔT

Where Q is heat energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat

ΔT is the change in temperature

From the question,

m = 25.0 grams

ΔT = (20.0 - 10.0) °C = 10.0 °C

c = 4.184 J/g °C (Specific heat capacity of water)

Putting the parameters into the equation

Q = mcΔT

We get

Q = 25.0 × 4.184 × 10.0

Q = 1046 J

Hence, the quantity of heat energy released is 1046 J
