Please help me guide my son and his thinking...I am not a math or science person... I hope it's okay if I type the questions and his way of answering it... Cindy made tea. She started with 300g of water at 20C. She transferred 18,000 calories to the water. What was the final temperature of the water. Well, first of all, my answer is....there aren't calories in water! But as I said before I know nothing. My son's work was....multiplying 300 into 18,000, which gave him 54 degrees. Is that right??? This is my first thread so if I didn't something wrong...sorry!!!! mom...
