A sample of water at 25°C absorbs 4,000 J of heat energy. If the mass of the water is 500 grams, what is the temperature change of the water? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C.

 

 

We can rearrange the formula  Q = m c ΔT to solve for ΔT:

   ΔT = Q / (m x c)

   ΔT = 4,000 J / (500 g x 4.18 J/g°C)

   ΔT ≈ 1.91°C
