Given :
Mass of water, m = 2 grams.
The temperature of water drops from 31 °C to 29 °C .
The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g • °C).
To Find :
Amount of heat lost in this process.
Solution :
We know, heat lost is given by :
[tex]Heat\ lost,H = ms( T_f - T_i)\\\\H = 2\times 4.184 \times ( 31 - 29 )\ J\\\\H = 16.736\ J[/tex]
Therefore, amount of heat lost in this process is 16.736 J.
