How many calories are absorbed by a sample of water with a mass of 500 grams as it changes from 50°C to 56°C? The specific heat capacity of water is 1.00 cal/g°C.


83 calories

494 calories

506 calories

3,000 calories

Respuesta :

Answer: 3000 calories

Explanation:

[tex]Q= m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

Q= heat gained or absorbed

m= mass of the substance = 500g

c = heat capacity of water= 1 cal/g ° C    

[tex]\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=(56-50)^0C=6^oC[/tex] 

[tex]Q=500g\times 1cal/g^oC\times6^oC[/tex]

[tex]Q=3000calories[/tex]

Thus heat absorbed by 500 g of water is 3000 calories
