It takes 4.186 Joules to heat one gram of water by 1-degree Celsius.

4.186 * 4000 = 16,744 Joules to heat 4 kilos of water by 1-degree.

16,744 * 70 = 1,172,080 Joules.

The above assumes that one litre of water weighs exactly 1 Kilogram.

Conversion needed.

4 kg (1000 grams/1 kg)

= 4000 grams

----------------------now,

q(thermal energy in Joules) = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

q = (4000 grams)(4.180 J/gC)(75 C - 25 C)

= 8.4 X 105 Joules

How many kilojoules of energy are necessary to raise the temperature of 3 kilograms of cast iron from 30 degrees celsius to 120 degrees celsius?

I will use this formula. Some conversion will be required. ( I only know specific heat iron in J/gC ) q(Joules) = mass * specific heat * change in temperature Celsius 3 kilograms cast iron = 3000 grams q = (3000 g)(0.46 J/gC)(120 C - 30 C) = 124200 Joules (1 kilojoule/1000 joules) = 124.2 kilojoules of energy needed ===========================


What is the quantity of heat in joules needed to raise the temperature of 40.0g of Al from 25 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius?

E = mass x specific heat x Δ°T Δ°T = new temperature - original temperature where Δ°T is equal to temperature change (Celsius in this case). The specific heat of Al is 0.900 J/g°C. Before we proceed to find the quantity of heat in joules, we must first find the temperature change. To calculate the temperature change, we must subtract the original temperature from the new temperature. Δ°T = 50°C - 25°C = 25°C In order to find the quantity of heat (joules), we must multiply mass, specific heat, and the temperature change (calculated above). E = 40.0g x 0.900 J/g°C x 25°C = 900 Joules or 9.0 x 102 Joules

How many joules of energy are needed to heat 25.0 grams of steam from 100.0 degrees Celsius to 29.25 degrees Celsius?

Use this formula. q(in Joules) = Mass * specific heat * change in temperature I will use specific heat of water at 25 C. You can look up specific heat of steam. You say " heat to " so I assume you have final and initial heat backwards. q = 25.0 grams H2O * 4.180 J/gC * (100.0 C - 29.25 C ) q = 7393 Joules


How much heat is needed to raise 8 kg of water from 4 degress celsius to 83 degrees celsius?

How much energy is needed to reduce water temperature from 15 degrees to 14 degrees?

1 calorie increases 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. 4.18 Joules are needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. To reduce the 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius it would have to give off 1 calorie of energy. To calculate the energy multiply the mass in grams of water by 4.18 and by the change in temperature. The energy = 4.18 x m x change in T. The answer is in Joules. If you are using calorie as the unit of energy, replace 4.18 J by 1 C. Note that food is measured in kilocalories (Calories) not metric calories.


How much heat energy is needed to convert 50 kg of water at 80 degrees Celsius to steam at 100 degrees Celsius?

539 calories per gram for heat of vaporization plus 1 cal/gram/degree C 100 degrees C - 80 degrees C = 20 degrees C (539 calories + 20 calories) X 50 kg X 1000 gm/kg = 27950000 cal = 27,950 kcal
