Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
Explanation:
1) Data:
Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C
m = 65.8 g
Ti = 31.5°C
Tf = 36.9°C
Heat, Q = ?
2) Formula:
Q = mCΔT
3) Calculations:
Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal
4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:
1 cal = 4.18 J
⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
