=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

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?

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
