Heat Transfer and Specific Heat

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of substances using the specific heat formula. It covers two problems: warming 10 grams of ice from -10°C to 0°C and cooling 200 grams of water from 100°C to 20°C. The tutorial demonstrates the use of the formula Q = mcd, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and d is the change in temperature. It also discusses unit conversion from joules to calories.

What is the formula used to calculate the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a substance?

• q = m * c * T

• q = c * v * ΔT

• q = m * v * ΔT

• q = m * c * ΔT
