Calculate the calories lost when 95 g of water cools from 45 ∘c to 29 ∘c. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. use abbreviations for the units.

1,520.00 calories

Explanation:

Water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds that require a lot of heat (energy) to break, which is released when the temperature drops. That energy is called specific heat or thermal capacity (ĉ) when it is enough to change the temperature of 1g of the substance (in this case water) by 1°C. Water ĉ equals 1 cal/(g.°C).

Given that ĉ = Q / (m.ΔT),

where Q= calories transferred between the system and its environment or another system (unity: calorie or cal) (what we are trying to find out),

m= mass of the substance (unity: grams or g), and

ΔT= difference of temperature (unity: Celsius degrees or °C); and

m= 95g and ΔT= 16°C:

Q= 1 cal/(g.°C).95g.16°C = 1,520.00 cal

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
