Answer:
Q = 44.5 kJ
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of water, m = 112 g
Water at 50.0°C cools to form ice at −45.0°C
We need to find the total amount of heat released. The formula for heat released is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]
c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.184 J/g°C
So,
[tex]Q=112\times 4.184 \times (-45-50)\\\\Q=-44517.76\ J[/tex]
or
Q = -44.5 kJ
So, 44.5 kJ of heat is released.
