1. How many Joules are absorbed by a pot of water with a mass of 500. g in order to
raise the temperature from 20.0C to 30.0C?

20920 joules of heat is absorbed by a pot of water with a mass of 500g in order to raise the temperature from 20°C to 30°C

Explanation:

mass of water=500g

final temperature=30°C

Initial temperature=20°C

change in temperature=30-20=10

specific heat of water=1 J/kg°C

1 kcal=4184 joules
