1 gallon of water is 4540 cc and 1 degree F is 0.555 degrees C, so raising 4540 cc of water by 0.555 degree C would take 4540x0.555 calories, or 2520 calories. Multiply by 4.2 to convert to joules which gives 10590 joules. Therefore the energy required is 10590 joules which is the same as 10590 watt-seconds.

That could be done by 100 watts in 105.9 seconds, or 1000 watts in 10.59 seconds.

How many BTU are required to raise the temperature of one gallon of water one degree Fahrenheit in one hour?

This is a pretty straightforward calculation. By definition, a BTU is the amount of energy required to raise one pound of water one degree F. But you have one gallon of water, which weighs approximately* 8.34 pounds. So, you'd need 8.34 BTU to increase one gallon of water one degree F. Note how the amount of time was not important. Whether you heat the water slowly or quickly doesn't matter. You will still require 8.34 BTU to raise the temperature of a gallon of water one degree F. * I say approximately because the weight of water varies slightly with its temperature. Water is at its densest at 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees F). A gallon of water at temperatures above and below that value will weigh less.

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.


What is the amount of energy required to raise temperature of one gram of water by one Celsius degree is called?

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one Celsius degree is called the specific heat capacity of water. It is approximately 4.18 joules per gram per Celsius degree.


If water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon how much Btu to raise the temperature of 4 gallon of water from 70 degree Fahrenheit to 72 degree Fahrenheit?

To calculate the BTU required to raise the temperature of 4 gallons of water from 70°F to 72°F, you first need to find the total weight of the water (4 gallons x 8.34 lbs/gallon = 33.36 lbs). Next, use the specific heat capacity of water (1 BTU/lb°F) to calculate the energy required: 33.36 lbs x 2°F x 1 BTU/lb°F = 66.72 BTU. So, 66.72 BTU is needed to raise the temperature of 4 gallons of water in this scenario.

How much energy is required to raise 1 cubic centimeter of water 1 degree?

It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Since 1 cubic centimeter of water is equivalent to 1 gram, it would take 1 calorie of energy to raise 1 cubic centimeter of water by 1 degree Celsius.


How many btu does it take to raise the temperature of 1 gallon of water 1 degree if water was already 50 degrees?

U.S.gallon = 8.33 pounds of water. Therefore to raise the temperature by one degree F will require 8.33 BTU. The initial temperature of 50 F is inconsequential.
