1.Easy
waterm = 1000 gT1​ = 14 °C → T2​ = 40 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 1000 g of water from 14 °C to 40 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 1000 gT1 = 14 °CT2 = 40 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 750 gT1​ = 11 °C → T2​ = 70 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 750 g of water from 11 °C to 70 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 750 gT1 = 11 °CT2 = 70 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
