Q: How much heat (in joules) is required to raise the temperature of $$25.0 \ \text{g} of $$water from $$20.0^\circ \text{C} to$$ $$50.0^\circ \text{C}$$? (Specific heat of water $$= 4.18 \ \text{J/g}^\circ \text{C})$$

$$q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T = 25.0 \ \text{g} \times 4.18 \ \text{J/g}^\circ \text{C} \times (50.0 - 20.0)^\circ \text{C} = 3,135 \ \text{J}$$

$$\text{Density} = \frac{96.5 \ \text{g}}{5.00 \ \text{cm}^3} = 19.3 \ \text{g/cm}^3$$

Q: A nurse needs to convert a patient's temperature from $$39.0^\circ \text{C} to $$Fahrenheit. Which formula should be used?

$$^\circ \text{F} = (^\circ \text{C} \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32$$

Q: Which of the following is a correct equality?

$$1 \ \text{cm}^3 = 1 \ \text{mL}$$
