Answer:
1379.4 Joules
Explanation:
- The quantity of heat is calculated multiplying the mass of a substance by heat capacity and the change in temperature.
Therefore;
Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature
Q = mcΔT
In this case;
The substance dissolved in water gained heat while water lost heat energy.
Thus, Heat gained by the substance = heat lost by water
Heat associated with the water
Mass of water = 75 g
Change in temperature = 4.4°C
Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g·⁰C
Heat = mcΔT
= 75 g × 4.18 J/g·⁰C × 4.4 °C
=1379.4 Joules
