Calculate the number of calories required to raise 10.0 g of water from 25.0 °C to 75.0 °C.The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/(g x °C).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of calories required can be calculated using the formula: calories = mass (g) * specific heat (cal/g°C) * ΔT (°C). Here, ΔT = 75.0°C - 25.0°C = 50.0°C, mass = 10.0 g, and specific heat = 1.00 cal/(g°C). Thus, calories = 10.0 g * 1.00 cal/(g°C) * 50.0°C = 500 cal, which is 5.00 x 10^2 cal.
