Calorimetry Calculator

Your details

Pick the quantity you want to find. The other three become inputs.
Mass of the substance being heated or cooled.
g
Select a substance to auto-fill its specific heat, or choose "Custom value".
Amount of heat needed to raise 1 g of the substance by 1 K.
J/(g·K)
Temperature of the substance before heat is added or removed.
°C
Temperature after heating or cooling. Leave blank when solving for final temperature.
°C
Total heat energy added to or removed from the substance.
J
Heat (Q)Heat absorbed (endothermic)
50,232J

Total heat transferred to or from the substance

Heat (Q)50.232kJ
Heat (Q)12,005.74cal
Mass (m)200g
Specific heat (c)4.186J/(g·K)
Temperature change (ΔT)60Δ°C
Final temperature (T₂)80°C
Heat (J)50,232
Heat (kJ)50.232
Heat (cal)12,005.74

50232.0 J absorbed (endothermic process)

  • The substance absorbed 50232.0 J (50.232 kJ, 12005.7 cal) of heat energy.
  • The temperature rose by 60.00 °C from the initial value.
  • The final temperature is 80.00 °C.
  • For reference: heating 1 kg of this substance by 1 °C requires 4186.0 J.
