A 6,000 liter tank of water is at 0 oC. It must be heated to 20 oC. How many calories are required to do so?

Respuesta :

 The number  of calories that are  required to do so is   1 .2 x10^8 cal

   calculation

  •  Heat = MCΔT

    where  M=mass  in grams ( gotten by converting L into g)

                          where  1 L = 1000 g

                                   6000L=? g

           by  cross  multiplication

             = [6000 x1000] =6,000,000 g

  • C = specific heat capacity for water=   1  cal/g/c
  • ΔT=change in temperature = 20c-0c= 20 c


therefore  heat = 6,000,000 g x 1 cal/g/c  x 20 c=  1.2 x10^8 cal
