$q = m c \Delta T = 20 \times 0.59 \times (30 - 10) = 20 \times 0.59 \times 20 = 236\ \mathrm{cal}$

Q: A value of 675 cal is equivalent to how many joules? ($1\ \mathrm{cal} = 4.184\ \mathrm{J}$)

$675 \times 4.184 = 2824\ \mathrm{J}$

Q: How many calories are needed to melt 60.0 g of ice at $0\ ^\circ C$? (Heat of fusion for water $= 80.\ \mathrm{cal/g}$)

$q = m \times \text{heat of fusion} = 60.0 \times 80. = 4800\ \mathrm{cal}$

Accepted Answer

$\mathrm{Al}_2(\mathrm{SO}_4)_3$

Question 9

A sample of ethanol (specific heat $= 0.59\ \mathrm{cal/g\ ^\circ C}$) has a mass of 20 g and is heated from $10\ ^\circ C$ to $30\ ^\circ C$. How many calories are absorbed?

Accepted Answer

$q = m c \Delta T = 20 	imes 0.59 	imes (30 - 10) = 20 	imes 0.59 	imes 20 = 236\ \mathrm{cal}$
