STEP 1

Assumptions1. The initial volume of water is100.0 mL. The initial temperature of the water is21. °C3. The final equilibrium temperature of the water is32.0 °C4. The specific heat capacity of water is4.18 J/g°C5. The density of water is approximately1 g/mL

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the mass of the water. We can do this by multiplying the volume of the water by the density of water.
MassH2=VolumeH2timesDensityH2Mass_{H2} = Volume_{H2} \\times Density_{H2}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the volume of water and the density of water to calculate the mass.
MassH2=100.0mLtimes1g/mLMass_{H2} =100.0\, mL \\times1\, g/mL

STEP 4

Calculate the mass of the water.
MassH2=100.0mLtimes1g/mL=100.0gMass_{H2} =100.0\, mL \\times1\, g/mL =100.0\, g

STEP 5

Now, we need to calculate the change in temperature of the water. We can do this by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Δ=finalinitial\Delta =_{final} -_{initial}

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final temperatures to calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=32.0C21.2C\Delta =32.0^{\circ}C -21.2^{\circ}C

STEP 7

Calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=32.0C21.2C=10.C\Delta =32.0^{\circ}C -21.2^{\circ}C =10.^{\circ}C

STEP 8

Now, we can calculate the energy absorbed by the water. We can do this by multiplying the mass of the water, the specific heat capacity of water, and the change in temperature.
qH2=MassH2timesCH2timesΔq_{H2} = Mass_{H2} \\times C_{H2} \\times \Delta

STEP 9

Now, plug in the values for the mass of the water, the specific heat capacity of water, and the change in temperature to calculate the energy absorbed.
qH2=100.gtimes4.18J/g°Ctimes.8°Cq_{H2} =100.\, g \\times4.18\, J/g°C \\times.8°C

STEP 10

Calculate the energy absorbed by the water.
qH2=100.0gtimes4.18J/g°Ctimes10.8°C=4514.4Jq_{H2} =100.0\, g \\times4.18\, J/g°C \\times10.8°C =4514.4\, JThe water absorbed4514.4 J of energy.
