In calorimetry, what is the formula used to calculate heat transfer?

  • A Q = mcΔT
  • B E = mc^2
  • C H = MCΔT
  • D Q = msΔT
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

The formula q=mcΔT in calorimetry helps us calculate the amount of heat transferred in a process. The variable q represents the heat, m is the mass of the substance involved, c is the specific heat capacity (which tells us how much heat a substance can hold), and ΔT is the change in temperature. Imagine you have a hot cup of coffee cooling down; this formula allows you to figure out how much heat is lost as it cools based on the coffee's mass, the specific heat of coffee, and the temperature change.
