Q: Calculate the amount of heat (in joules) required to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of water from $$20.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$80.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. ($$Specific heat of water $$c = 4.18\ \mathrm{J/g\ ^\circ C})$$

$$Q = mc\Delta T = 50.0 \times 4.18 \times (80.0 - 20.0) = 12,540\ \mathrm{J}$$
