To raise the temperature of water from 32°F to 212°F, you would need 180 BTUs per pound of water. This calculation is based on the specific heat capacity of water, which is 1 BTU/lb°F.

How much energy is required to raise water temp 1 degree Celsius?

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of water by 1 degree Celsius is known as its specific heat capacity. For water, the specific heat capacity is 4.18 Joules/gram°C. This means that it takes 4.18 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.


How much energy is used make Ice?

80 cal/gram of heat is required to be extracted from water at 0 degree temp. to convert into ice at 0 degree temp.


How many btu's are required to change 1 pound of water to 1 pound of ice?

Depends on the temperature of the water. If it is 32 degree water and you want 32 degree ice then you need a -144 BTU loss to change state from liquid to solid. It takes 1 BTU to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree (F). If the water is 82 degrees then you would need a -50 BTU loss (+) 144 BTU to change state. TOTAL WEIGHT OF WATER (X) 1 BTU (X) Degrees desired of change. If it is ICE to WATER then it is the TEMP of ICE (X) .5 BTU (X) NUMBER OF DEGREES INCREASED = TOTAL BTU needs. If you change state in the process you have to add 144 BTU for 32 degree ICE to 32 degree WATER and 970 BTU for 212 degree WATER to 212 degree STEAM but only when you change state.


If you have water at 32 degrees and ice at 32 degrees and you put them together will the ice melt or the water freez?

If you have water and ice at 32 degree Fahrenheit, their state will depend upon the temp. of the surroundings. If it is >=0 then ice will remain such but water will start to freeze. If it is <0, then the ice will melt and water will remain as such. The first condition is true only if heat isn't being supplied the system at zero degree celsius.


Does the amount of water affect its temp?

No, the amount of water does not affect its temperature. The temperature of water is determined by the amount of heat energy it contains, regardless of the quantity of water present.

How many btu's in office water-cooler?

There are no BTUs in an office water-cooler. But you can calculate how many BTUs are removed by the cooler. One BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. There for when you remove one BTU you are lowering one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. So if you know how many pounds of water you have and the temperature of the water you start with and the temperature of the water comming out of the cooler you can calculate how many BTUs the cooling unit of the water cooler has removed. BTU=Temp1 - Temp 2 X LB water


BTUs to melt one pound of ice?

From high school science class; it takes 144 BTUs to melt a pound of ice. That takes it to 32 degrees F. To then raise the temp to 72 deg., would take about 40 more BTUs.


What is 650 degrees in BTUs?

One measure does not directly translate to another. A BTU is the amount of heat that it takes to raise the temp of one pound of water by one degree F. A burning match, and a burning fireplace may both be at 650 degrees, but the fireplace gives off more heat (more BTUs)

How many BTUs does it take to heat 390 gallon tank of water from 60 degrees to 248 degrees?

The specific heat of water is 1 BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit. There are 8.3378 lbs/gallon at 60 degrees, which equals 3251.742 pounds of water. The number of BTUs to raise it 188 degrees is then 611,327.496 BTUs.

Water has a temp of 4.184 and copper has a temp of 0.387. Does it takes more heat to raise the temp of the copper molecule?

These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius. So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.


How many btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit?

1)This is a 5 part question. The first is realizing that 20F to 32F uses .5BTU per pound per degree. That means it takes 32-20=12*.5=6BTUs to get the ice to 32F. 2)Then you need to know the Latent Heat of Fusion for Ice which is 144BTUs (given). Lets assumes the ice changes from ice to water instantaneously at 32F. 3)Next we calculate the BTUs from 32F to 212F. Which is 1BTU per pound per degree F. 212-32=180 so it take 180BTUS. 4)Next we have to use the Latent Heat of Vaporization of water which will say instantaneously converts water to vapor. This takes 970BTUS (given). 5)Then we calculate the BTUS from 212F to 220F. Which is .5BTUs per pound per degree F which is 220-212=8*.5=4BTUs...... Finally add up all the BTUs and you get 6+144+180+970+4=1304BTUs.
