Heat Released Calculator
Heat released in a chemical or physical process can be determined using the formula:
Heat Released = Mass × Specific Heat Capacity × Temperature Change
Understanding the Formula
- Mass (in grams): This refers to the quantity of the substance undergoing the process, measured in grams.
- Specific Heat Capacity (in J/g°C): The specific heat capacity represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
- Temperature Change (in °C): The change in temperature experienced by the substance during the process.
Using the Calculator
- Enter the Mass: Input the mass of the substance in grams.
- Specific Heat Capacity: Provide the specific heat capacity of the substance in Joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C).
- Temperature Change: Enter the difference in temperature before and after the process in degrees Celsius.
