How many joules are required to heat 250 grams of liquid water from 25 C to 100 C
How much heat is released when 200 grams of steam condenses?
Homework Equations
q=m*(delta) t*c
q=(delta)H*m
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know how to begin
jacob95 said:so would it be
q=250g*75°C*4.186j=78487.5 joules?
or
q=250g*75°C*1
then I would have to convert it to calories
78 487 joules = 18 758 cal?

q=ΔH*m?
The amount of heat released in a chemical reaction can be calculated using the formula Q = m × c × ΔT, where Q is the heat released, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. This formula is known as the heat capacity equation.
Joules required to heat refers to the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance, while joules released refers to the amount of energy released or given off by a substance during a reaction or change in temperature. The former is an input of energy, while the latter is an output of energy.
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of that substance by 1 degree Celsius. Therefore, the higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy is needed to heat the substance, and the lower the specific heat capacity, the less energy is needed.
No, the joules required to heat a substance cannot be negative. This is because heat is always transferred from a higher temperature to a lower temperature, resulting in a positive value for the amount of energy required.
The type of reaction can greatly affect the amount of heat released. Exothermic reactions release heat, while endothermic reactions absorb heat. The amount of heat released or absorbed is dependent on the specific reactants and products involved in the reaction.
