Solve: When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equal to the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place 143 g of aluminum in a calorimeter with 1,320 g of water. The water changes temperature by 7 °C and the aluminum changes temperature by - 70.00 °C.

Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Use the specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the water gained (q).

    38660.16 J

    Explanation:

    From the question,

    Heat gained by water is given as

    Q = cm (Δt) ... Equation 1

    Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = temperature change of water.

    Given: c = 4.184 J/g.°C, m = 1320 g, Δt = 7 °C.

    Substitute these values into equation 1

    Q = 4.184*1320*7

    Q = 38660.16 J

    Hence the heat energy gained by the water is 38660.16 J
