The granite block transferred 4,080 joules of energy, and the mass of the water is 35.8 grams.

How we calculate heat transfer of any system ?

Heat transfer in any system can be calculated as follow:

q = mCΔT

Given ;

  • m = mass of granite = 126.1 g
  • C = specific heat of granite = 0.795 joules/gram degree Celsius
  • ΔT = change in temperature of granite = 51.9 °C - 92.6 °C = -40.7 °C

Putting all the values in folowing equation,

q = mCΔT

we get

q = 126.1 × 0.795 × -40.7 = -4080 J

Now by using same formula, we can also calculate the mass of water in the following way:

m = q / CΔT

where

  • C = specific heat of water = 4.186 joules/gram degree Celsius
  • ΔT = change in temperature of water = 51.9 °C – 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C

Putting all these values ;

m = -4080 /  4.186 × 27.2 = 35.8 g.

Hence, 4,080 joules of energy is transferred by granite block and 35.8 g is the mass of water.
