A certain amount of heat is added to 1 cup of water and the temperature raises by 5°C. How much will the temperature raise if three times the amount of heat is added to the same amount of water?

Respuesta :

Rise in temperature is 15°C.

Explanation:

We know that

Q = m [tex]\times[/tex] c [tex]\times[/tex] ΔT

Q - heat required

m - mass of the substance

c - specific heat capacity

ΔT - change in temperature

Given :

1 cup of water = 250 mL =250 g

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

temperature rises by 5°C

[tex]Q = 250 \times 4.184 \times 5[/tex]

[tex]Q = 5230 J[/tex]

If three times of heat is added

[tex]Q = 5230 \times 3[/tex]

[tex]Q = 15690 J[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]15690 = 250 \times 4.184 \times \triangle T[/tex]

[tex]\triangle T = \frac{15690}{250 \times 4.184}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle T = 15[/tex]

Rise in temperature is 15°C.
