Q=mc(delta)T .In this problem T = the temperature -> 50 ºC ,m= 500 grams, c= specific heat capacity, for water which is 1 cal/gºC. Q= 500g x 1 cal/gºC x 50 ºC = 25,000 cal.

It should actually take 5000 calories.

Here is how:

Q = c x m x (Tf-Ti),

where c = specific heat, m = mass, Tf = final temp, and Ti = initial temp

or

(Heat) = (Specific Heat) times (Mass) times (Change in Temperature)

Thus,

Heat = 1cal/g *C x 100 g x 50*C = 5000 cal

Q=mass x (delta)T x specific heat capacity

50.0g x (83.0c-4.0c)x4.18j/gc

= 17000 J of heat with the appropriate significant figures

q(joules) = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

q = (20 grams H2O)(4.180 J/gC)(50o C - 25o C)

= 2090 joules of heat energy

The specific heat of water is 4.179 Joules per (gram-degree-Celsius).
So, the specific heat of 50 grams of water would be: 4.179 J/g-degC * 50 g = 208.95 J/degC
