Answer:
40.02 calories
Explanation:
V = 10 mL = 10g
we know t went up by 4°C, this is our ∆t as it is a change.
Formula that ties it together: Q = mc∆t
where,
Q = energy absorbed by water
m = mass of water
c = specific heat of water (constant)
∆t = temperature change
Q = (10 g) x (4.186 J/g•°C) x (4°C)
Q = 167.44 J
Joules to Calories:
167.44 J x 1 cal/4.184 J = 40.02 calories
(makes sense as in image it is close to the value).
