To calculate the temperature change, we use the formula for heat transfer: Q = mc T. Step 1: Identify the given values and the specific heat capacity of water. • Heat supplied (Q) = 500 J • Mass of water (m) = 100 g • Specific heat capacity of water (c) = 4.18 J/g^ (This is a standard value for liquid water.) Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for the temperature change ( T). Q = mc T T = (Q)/(mc) Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula and calculate T. T = 500 J(100 g) × (4.18 J/g^) T = 500 J418 J/^ T ≈ 1.196 ^ Rounding to three significant figures: T ≈ 1.20 ^ The temperature change is: 1.20 ^ What's next?
