Homework Statement
What amount of energy is required to raise the temperature of 12.0 kg of water
from 0 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius?
Homework Equations
Q = m*c*ΔT
1 calorie = 4.186J
specific heat capacity for water = 4.19x10^3
The Attempt at a Solution
Q = m*c*ΔT = (12kg)(4.19x10^3)(25°) = 1,257,000J
1257000J/4.186 = 300,286 calories
