Explain how you would calculate the q for warming 100.0 grams of liquid water from 0°C to 100 °C.

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

mass = 100 g

T1 = 0°C

T2 = 100 °C

C = 1 cal/g°C

Process

1. - Do a list of all the data given

2. - Look in books or tables the specific heat of water.

3. - Check that the variables have the same units

4. - Write the formula

5. - Substitute the data

6. - Do the operations

Q = mC (T2 - T1)

Q = 100 (1) (100 - 0)

Q = 100 (100)

Q = 10000 cal
