Answer: The increase in temperature is 7.14°C
Explanation:
To calculate the change in temperature, we use the equation:
[tex]q=mc\Delta T[/tex]
where,
q = heat absorbed = 14.5 kJ = 14500 J (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)
m = mass of water = 485 g g
c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]14500J=485g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=7.14^oC[/tex]
Hence, the increase in temperature is 7.14°C
