if this is for basic physics, then the specific heat capacity of water is 1000cal/(Kg * degree centigrade). in other words, 1000 calories are released for every kilogram of water that cools 1 degree, or 1 calorie is released for every gram of water that cools 1 degree. so if 1 calorie released = 1 g...

How many btus does it take to heat up one gallon of water?
That depends on what the starting temperature of the water is,and what temperature you want it to reach.If you expect to get a number, you must first give the necessary numbers.
How do you distinguish between temperature and heat give examples?
Temperature is the average amount of energy present in something; heat is the net total. For example, you can have a glass of water and a pool of water that are the same temperature: dispersed throughout, the amount of energy in each substance is the same. However, in total the pool as much more energy, or heat, because it is much larger than the glass of water.
Why does the balloon doesn't float when rain fall?
The rain drops stick to the balloon due to surface tension & it quickly becomes too heavy for the helium to float it. water is heavier than we give it credit for...
Do liquid have a fixed temperature but no fixed shape?
A liquid (water) takes on the temperature you give it. You need to boil the water if you want to brew a cup of tea. Having brewed your cup of tea, it will take on the shape of the cup you use. Therefore, gas and liquids take on the shape of the container.
Can you make water boil at 70 degree Centigrade?
70' Fahrenheit is moderately warm water a about 28' F below body temperature. 70'Centigrade is hot hot, only 30' C below boiling 70'Kelvin is super cold only 70' K above absolute zero.
Can you give some mathematical problems related to heat of fusion?
This is the formula for finding calories: calories= (Tf-Ti)mass Or, in words, you subtract the final temperature (the temperature of the fused waters) by its initial temperature (the hot/ cold water's original temperature). You then multiply this answer by the mass of the water before you mix them together. Your hot and cold water should both have the same mass, but not the same temperature.
Water must contain calories not Calories which is 1000 calories otherwise Einstein is wrong about matter and energy being the same So how many calories in water?
There aren't any calories in pure water. Water doesn't give you energy, so therefore it doesn't have any calories.
What properties give water such a high specific temperature?
The polar properties of water give it such a high specific temperature.
Why does drinking milk supply your body with energy but water does not?
Milk contains calories which give you energy. Water doesn't contain calories.
How can you give a poisonous spider water to drink?
carefully spray tiny drops of water on its web
Can evaporation take place without the increase in temperature Give example.?
Yes. When you cool by sweating - it drops.
What is the teampature of the water?
The temperature of water is so variable, that it is impossible to give an answer.
Why is it important to be sure that no drops of water cling to the cylinder in the water displacement method?
The drops of water could potentially add to the volume of an object, affecting the position of the meniscus. This will essentially give one inaccurate results when measuring volume.
Should you give a dehydrated person cold water?
no, sips of room temperature water.
What is thre function of a bomb calorimeter?
it burns food and that heats water to give a reading in calories
Is there special water for guinea pigs?
No there is not special water for guinea pigs. Although there are vitamin drops you can put in the water. I currently have a guinea pig and I give her tap water with nothing added.
What are some foods with no calories?
Celery and water is all i know but there are food that give you "negative calories" which is basically what it stands for you will lose calories when eating stuff like Asparagus,Apple,Beet,Cranberries, broccoli and etc.
