Answer (3)

The mass of the sample of water that increased in **temperature **from 20°C to 46°C as it absorbed 5650 calories of heat is approximately 217.31 grams. The **specific heat **capacity of water was used and the formula Q = mcΔT was applied and solved for mass. ;

The mass of the water sample that increased in temperature from 20°C to 46°C after absorbing 5650 calories of heat is approximately 217.31 grams. This calculation uses the specific heat formula Q = mcΔT, where the change in temperature is 26°C. By rearranging the formula for mass, we find the mass to be 217.31 grams.
