How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 10.0 grams of water 6.0oc? (the specific heat of water is 4.18 j/g x oc)

 250.8 Joules

Explanation:

Using the equation below:

Q= heat gained

m= mass of the substance = 10.0 g

c = heat capacity of water= 4.18 J/g ° C      

Q= 250.8 Joules

Thus heat gained by 10 g of water is = 250.8 Joules

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
