How mcuh heat is needed to raise the temperature of 80 grams of water by 30 degrees?
I got AlphaQ=80xCx30. I know I'm solving for Alpha , but I don't know what the C would be or how to find it. Thanks for your help.
∆ = delta, not alpha
C is the specific heat of the substance (water here)
C = 1 cal/g.ºC (for calories
C = 4.18 J/g.ºC (for joules)
