a. $100 \mathrm{J}$ of heat energy are transferred to $20 \mathrm{g}$ of mercury initially at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. By how much does the temperature increase?
b. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of $20 \mathrm{g}$ of water by the same amount?

Key Concepts

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer refers to the movement of thermal energy from one physical system to another. In thermodynamics, it is quantified by measuring the amount of energy transferred in the form of heat, typically during processes that involve a change in temperature or state. The basic relationship used in calorimetry is expressed as Q = m×c×?T, where Q is the heat added or removed.

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is a property of a material that indicates the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). This property is fundamental in calculating temperature changes when a known amount of heat is transferred, as different substances have different specific heat capacities.

Calorimetry

Calorimetry is the experimental process of measuring the amount of heat transferred in a physical or chemical process. It involves using calorimeters to isolate a system and determine changes in temperature, thereby allowing the calculation of energy changes based on the mass and specific heat capacity of the material involved.

Temperature Change

Temperature change is the difference between the final and initial temperatures of a system when it undergoes a heat transfer process. It is calculated by dividing the heat energy transferred by the product of the mass of the substance and its specific heat capacity, as expressed in the formula ?T = Q/(m×c).
