How do you calculate energy released in water?

Posted on February 16th, 2010 by admin in released | 2 Comments »

I am doing a Chemistry lab, and I am trying to figure out how much energy is released by the warm water as it is cooled through 47 degrees celsius and 44.4 degrees celsius. What and how would I need to do to solve this?

Heat= mass X specific heat X change in temp

    heat= mass x specific heat x change in temperature

    specific heat of water= 4.184 joules per gram degrees celsius

    change in temperature would be 3.4 degrees celsius

    all you need is the mass of the water if you have it and plug all of these in and that should give you the heat released.
