Water Equivalent Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Equivalent = Mass of Water*Specific Heat
W_e = M_w*c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Water Equivalent - (Measured in Kilogram) - Water equivalent is a term used in calorimetry to describe the amount of water that would absorb or release the same amount of heat as a given substance for the same change in temperature.
Mass of Water - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of water is the total mass of water.
Specific Heat - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin), measuring the material’s ability to absorb heat energy.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Water: 0.05 Kilogram --> 0.05 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Specific Heat: 120 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 120 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_e = M_w*c --> 0.05*120

Evaluating ... ...

W_e = 6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6 Kilogram <-- Water Equivalent

What is water equivalent ?

Water equivalent of a substance is the amount of water that would absorb the same amount of heat as the substance per degree rise in temperature.

What is the significance of water equivalent?

The water equivalent of a substance is equal to the amount of water needed to absorb the same amount of heat as that substance does for one degree of increase in temperature. Therefore, water equivalent of a body equals the product of its mass and its specific heat.
