A piece of candy is burned in a calorimeter raising up the tempature of 500g of water from 21 C to 25 C water has a specific heat of 4.18J/g C how much energy was released by the candy

The energy that was released by the candy is calculates using the below formula

Q=Mc delta T

Q = heat energy

m = mass (500g)

C = specific heat capacity) = 4.18 j/g/c

delta t = change in temperature = 25 - 21 = 4 c

Q = 500 g x 4.18 j/g/c x 4c = 8360 j
