Energy Gained by Water Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Energy Gained by Water (Q) is:

\[ Q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \]

Where:

\(Q\) is the energy gained by water (Joules)
\(m\) is the mass of water (kilograms)
\(c\) is the specific heat capacity of water (Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius)
\(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature of water (degrees Celsius)

What is Energy Gained By Water?

Energy gained by water refers to the amount of thermal energy absorbed by water when it undergoes a change in temperature. This energy is typically measured in Joules and is a function of the mass of the water, its specific heat capacity, and the change in temperature it experiences. This concept is crucial in various applications, including heating systems, cooling systems, and various scientific experiments that involve thermal energy transfer.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of Water (m) = 2 kg
Specific Heat Capacity (c) = 4184 J/kg°C (specific heat capacity of water)
Change in Temperature (ΔT) = 10 °C

Using the formula to calculate the Energy Gained by Water:

\[ Q = 2 \cdot 4184 \cdot 10 = 83680 \text{ Joules} \]

The Energy Gained by Water is 83680 Joules.
