General Chemistry | Heat Capacity (q=smΔT) [Example 1]

The video tutorial explains the concept of heat capacity using the formula Q=SMΔT. It begins with a problem involving heating 50 grams of water from 25°C to 85°C, calculating the heat required. The tutorial details the variables involved, such as specific heat, mass, and temperature change, and demonstrates the calculation process. It also covers converting volume to mass using density, particularly for water. The video concludes with a preview of more complex problems involving algebra, to be covered in the next video.
