The temperature of a 100.0 g sample of water is raised from 30degrees celsius to 100.0 degrees celsius. How much energy is required for the temperature change?

29260J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water sample  = 100g

Initial temperature = 30°C

Final temperature  = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy required for the temperature change = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required for this temperature change can be derived from the expression below;

     H  = m c (ΔT)

H is the amount of heat energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity of water  = 4.18J/g°C

ΔT is the change in temperature

Now insert the parameters and solve;

          H  = 100 x 4.18 x (100 - 30)

          H  = 100 x 4.18 x 70 = 29260J

the answer is b. dilution
