How much water can be heated from 15 ° C to boiling, if you give it 178.5 kJ of heat?

t1 = 15 ° C.
t2 = 100 ° C.

C = 4200 J / kg * ° С.

Q = 178.5 kJ = 178500 J.

m -?

The amount of heat Q required for heating water is expressed by the formula: Q = C * m * (t2 – t1).

m = Q / C * (t2 – t1).

m = 178500 J / 4200 J / kg * ° C * (100 ° C – 15 ° C) = 0.5 kg.

Answer: m = 0.5 kg of water can be heated to boiling.
