Respuesta :

Heat required in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
Heat = 10(4.18)(6)
Heat = 250.8 J --------------> OPTION A

Answer:  250.8 Joules

Explanation:

Using the equation below:

[tex]Q= m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

Q= heat gained

m= mass of the substance = 10.0 g

c = heat capacity of water= 4.18 J/g ° C      

[tex]\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=6^oC[/tex]  

[tex]Q=10g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times6^oC[/tex]

Q= 250.8 Joules

Thus heat gained by 10 g of water is = 250.8 Joules
