Answer :
Answer
Explanation
Given:
Quantity of heat, Q = 1.0 BTU
Initial temperature, T₁ = 63 °F
Final temperature, T₂ = 64 °F
What to find:
The mass of water
Step-by-step solution:
1.0 BTU is the amount of heat energy required to raise one pound of water by 1ºF.
The first step is to convert BTU to joules, and °F to °C.
Conversion factor:
1.0 BTU = 1055.06 J
(°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
So 63 (F = (633F -32) x 5/9 = 17.222C
64°F = (64FF - 32) x 5/9 = 17.787C
8 − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C°°°°°°
