Question

How do you calculate heat lost by the original mass of the warm water?
Mass of empty cup: 4.6 g
Mass of cup + heated water: 77.6 g
Starting temperature of the water: 57.1 c
Final temperature of ice/water mixture: 0.9 c
Mass of cup + cool water: 130.6

Answer 1

Calculate the heat lost by the water, Q, according to the equation Q = m * c * deltaT, where m represents the mass of water and c represents water's specific heat capacity, or 4.184 joules per gram degree Celsius.
