Answer:

500cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 50g

Initial temperature  = 22°C

Final temperature  = 32°C

Specific heat of water  = 1cal/g

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

       H  = m c Ф

H is the amount of heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the temperature change

       H  = 50 x 1 x (32  - 22)  = 500cal
