How many joules of heat are required to raise the temperature of 320.0 grams of water from 24.2°C to 50.8°C? Heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/g°C.

35750.4 Joules

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows;

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (joules)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to the provided information,

mass (m) = 320.0 grams

c = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = (50.8°C - 24.2°C) = 26.6°C

Q = ?

Using; Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 320 × 4.2 × 26.6

Q = 35750.4 J

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
