Q: Which equation correctly relates heat, mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature change?

$q = m \times c \times \Delta T$

Q: A student heats 10.0 g of water from 25.0°C to 35.0°C. The specific heat capacity of water is $4.184 \text{ J/g} \cdot \text{°C}$. How much heat is absorbed?

$q = 10.0 \times 4.184 \times (35.0 - 25.0) = 418.4 \text{ J}$

Q: Convert 100.0 Cal (nutritional Calories) to joules.

$100.0 \text{ Cal} \times 1000 \text{ cal/Cal} \times 4.184 \text{ J/cal} = 418,400 \text{ J}$

Q: A sample of gallium (specific heat capacity $0.372 \text{ J/g} \cdot \text{°C}$) with mass $2.5 \text{ g}$ is heated from $25.0^\circ \text{C}$ to $29.0^\circ \text{C}$. How much heat is required?

$q = 2.5 \times 0.372 \times (29.0 - 25.0) = 3.72 \text{ J}$
