The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
What else can I help you with?
How much heat is needed to increase the temperature of 1 gallon of water?
Any amount of energy you like greater than 0; the larger the amount of energy you give it, the larger the temperature increase will be. Perhaps you should specify by how much temperature you want the gallon of water to increase and you may get a more specific answer.
What form of energy caused the temperature of the water to increase?
evaporation is the energy that release water temperature
How much energy is needed to increase the temperature of a kilogram of water 5 degrees?
The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C. Since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram, it would require 20,930 Joules of energy to increase the temperature of a kilogram of water by 5 degrees Celsius.
How much water can be heated up by 1 degree with 1 calorie of energy?
The definition of a calorie is that, it's the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C.
Why does water evaporate from your cup?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; but a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase.
What information is needed to calculate the amount of energy needed to heat of volume of water to some temperature?
You need the amount of water, the temperature of the water, and the desired temperature.
Why it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does gold?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than gold, meaning it requires more energy to raise its temperature. This is because water molecules can hold more heat energy due to their intermolecular structure compared to gold. As a result, more energy is needed to increase the kinetic energy of water molecules and raise the temperature of water.
Does water always have the same energy?
No. The energy you might be referring to is kinetic energy which is the energy possessed by individual water molecules. An increase in kinetic energy will be percieved as and increase in temperature. Similarly a decrease in kinetic energy will be percieved as a decrease in temperature.
how much energy is needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of water from 20°C to 40°C. (specific heat capacity of water is 4kJ/°C/kg)?

What happens when water absorbs an IR photon?
When water absorbs an infrared (IR) photon, the molecular vibrations of the water molecules increase as they absorb the energy from the photon. This increase in vibrational energy causes the water molecules to move more vigorously and increase in temperature.
Why does the water evaporates?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
How is the water evaporates?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
