calculate the energy change a beaker containing 450 grams of water is heated from 15.0 C to 18.0 C. A. Determine the energy change for the water. B. Determine the energy change for the surroundings.

OpenStudy (gorv):

=m*s*dt

OpenStudy (gorv):

m= mass of water

OpenStudy (gorv):

dt= change in temprature s= specific heat

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

thank you for your reply that's the exact formula I used and I got 130kj earlier

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

but im not sure that answer is for which of the question also how do I find the answer for the other question

OpenStudy (gorv):

s=4.18 j/gk for water

OpenStudy (gorv):

and mass=450 g dt=3

OpenStudy (gorv):

heat=450*4.18*3

OpenStudy (gorv):

=5643 joules =5.6 kJ

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

why is dt 3?

OpenStudy (gorv):

lol dt = change in temprature

OpenStudy (gorv):

so u tell me now dt=??

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

wops yea I was confused I typed the number wrong 15c to 85 c it should be 70degree difference

OpenStudy (gorv):

lolll

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

so yea I think I got the answer for one of the question but not sure the answer to which of the question a or b. can u tell me how to find the answer for the other question
