$$q = 50.0 \times 4.18 \times (80 - 20) = 12,540\ \mathrm{J}$$

Q: A student needs to convert 0.250 km to meters. What is the correct conversion?

$$0.250\ \mathrm{km} \times 1000\ \mathrm{m/km} = 250\ \mathrm{m}$$

Q: A metal sample with mass 25.0 g absorbs 200.0 J of heat, causing its temperature to rise from 20.0°C to 28.0°C. What is the specific heat capacity ($$c) of $$the metal?

$$c = \frac{q}{m \Delta T} = \frac{200.0}{25.0 \times (28.0 - 20.0)} = 1.00\ \mathrm{J/g\cdot ^\circ C}$$
