Homework Statement
A saucepan of thermal capacity 500J/degC contains 5kg water at 20 degrees celcius. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of the saucepan and water:
a) to 60 degrees
b) by 60 degrees
Homework Equations
Q = mcΔt
mcΔt = mcΔt
The Attempt at a Solution
First I just did Q = 5 * 500J * 40 = 100 000J, but then I realized mcΔt = mcΔt possibly had to be used. Please help get me on the right track asap! :)
