Change in temperature, dT,=1/m, where m is the amount of water, in kilograms.

Depends on how much kilograms of water you have. The equation to use is Q=cm(dT), where c is the specific heat capacity of water (conventional use puts it 4186 J/(kg*C degrees)), m is the mass, in kilograms, of the water you're heating, dT is the amount of degrees, in Celsius (or Kelvin), that you want to heat the water by, and Q is the amount of energy needed, in Joules. 1 kilocalorie equals 4186J, solving for change in temperature (dT), dT=Q/(cm). Substituting in Q and c gives you dT=1/m. If you do not know the mass, but only volume, m=pV, where p is the density of water (convetionally 1 *10^3 kg/m^3) and V is the volume of the amount of water you have in m^3.

It would take 1000 calories (cal) or 1 kilocalorie (kcal) to raise a kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius. A calorie is defined as the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. A kilocalorie is defined as the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree.

Does water always freeze at 0 Celsius?

Pure water at stp will freeze at zero degrees Celsius. However, it is possible to change this by altering the pressure of the water. Decreasing the pressure will raise the freezing point slightly.


How much heat does a kilowatt have?

A watt is a measure of energy, which may or may not be heat, but heat is considered to be the simplest form of energy and is an easy way to compare amounts of energy. Another measure of energy that is easy to work with is a calorie, which is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C. In these terms without special conditions, this applies only between 0 and 100 degrees C, because freezing and boiling make the equations much more complicated. A watt is approximately 86 calories, meaning that applied to a gram of water would raise its temperature by 86 degrees centigrade. A kilowatt is 1000 watts meaning that it could raise the temperature of that gram of water by 86000 degrees--at least theoretically, but that image is all but useless. So let's say that a kilowatt represents enough heat to raise the temperature of a liter (1000 g) of water by 86 degrees C.


Specific heat capacity of water?

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*°C, which is read 4.184 Joules per gram degree Celsius. It can also be stated as 1.00 cal/g*°C, which is read calories per gram degree Celsius (same as centigrade). These values mean that it takes 4.184 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Or it takes 1.00 calories of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. 4.184 Joules = 1.00 calorie
