What if we use the equation $$q=cm \Delta T$$

anonymous · Answer

make sure you swtich from KG to Grams

anonymous · Answer

What do those variables mean? Sorry, I never took chemistry in high school and when I got to college I was kind of just forced into it because of my major so I really don't know anything.

anonymous · Answer

q is heat, C=specific heat, m=mass

anonymous · Answer

$$q=(363 g)(.0920)(37)$$

anonymous · Answer

and your units are cal

anonymous · Answer

All right. It kind of makes sense. Thanks!
