When 25.0 grams of water are cooled from 20.0 degrees Celsius to 10.0 degrees Celsius the number of joules of heat energy released is?

Respuesta :


Heat energy released here

Q = mass x specific heat capacity of water x deltaT


= 25.0 x 4.184 x (-10.0)


= - 1046 Joules


1046 Joules of heat energy is released in this process.  




     

Answer: The amount of heat released is -1046 J

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat released, we use the equation:

[tex]q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

where,

q = heat released = ?

m = mass of water = 25.0 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex]T_2-T_1=(10.0-20.0)^oC=-10.0^oC[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]q=25.0g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times (-10.0^oC)\\\\q=-1046J[/tex]

Hence, the amount of heat released is -1046 J
