1. How much heat energy (in Joules) is required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 5 degrees Celsius? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.C)

  1. A443.47
  2. B209
  3. C262.25
  4. D139.77
Show answer

Answer: B

Heat energy q = m x c x delta-T = 10 x 4.18 x 5 = 209 J.

2. How much heat energy (in Joules) is required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 10 degrees Celsius? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.C)

  1. A243.06
  2. B626.63
  3. C418
  4. D656.37
Show answer

Answer: C

Heat energy q = m x c x delta-T = 10 x 4.18 x 10 = 418 J.

3. How much heat energy (in Joules) is required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 15 degrees Celsius? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.C)

  1. A704.07
  2. B763.47
  3. C752.08

Show answer

Answer: D

Heat energy q = m x c x delta-T = 10 x 4.18 x 15 = 627 J.

4. How much heat energy (in Joules) is required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 20 degrees Celsius? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.C)

  1. A864.18
  2. B672.29
  3. C836
  4. D1022.23
Show answer

Answer: C

Heat energy q = m x c x delta-T = 10 x 4.18 x 20 = 836 J.

5. How much heat energy (in Joules) is required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 25 degrees Celsius? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.C)
