Answer:
20.9grams
Explanation:
Using the formula:
Q = m × c × ∆T
Where;
Q = amount of heat (joules)
m = mass of substance (g)
c = specific heat of water (4.184 J/g°C)
∆T = change in temperature (°C)
According to the provided information;
Q = 3.5kJ = 3.5 × 1000 = 3500J
m = ?
c of water = 4.184 J/g°C
∆T = 66°C - 26°C = 40°C
Using Q = m × c × ∆T
m = Q ÷ (c × ∆T)
m = 3500 ÷ (4.184 × 40)
m = 3500 ÷ 167.36
m = 20.9
mass = 20.9grams
