Answer: 33387.75J
Explanation:
The amount of heat (Q) released from an heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Given that:
Q = ?
Mass of water = 225.0g
C = 4.18 joules per gram Celsius (4.18J/g°C)
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 85.5°C - 50°C = 35.5°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 225.0g x 4.18J/g°C x 35.5°C
Q = 33387.75J
Thus, 33387.75 joules of heat is released during cooling.
