Formule Q=Mc Delta T. I need help with this equation how to set everything up and solve it. M is mass, c is the specific heat and delta t is the difference in temperature.
When delta t is positive, q is positive, and the process is endothermic. If the question meant enthalpy change, the question would have used the word enthalpy. In the formula mc delta t, what does c stand for?
You can calculate delta t, δt, using the formula q/(mc).
This week we learned about using the formula q=mc delta t more in depth. M is mass, c is the specific heat and delta t is the difference in temperature. Note that m (mass) and c (calorimetry constant) can't be negative. When the pot of boiling water cools, energy leaves the system, so the water is cooler than before.
