To calculate the heat capacity of water, we can use the formula:q = mcTwhere:q = heat capacity  Joules m = mass of water  grams c = specific heat capacity of water  4.18 J/gC T = change in temperature  C Given:m = 50 gT = 65C - 25C = 40Cc = 4.18 J/gCNow, we can plug these values into the formula:q =  50 g    4.18 J/gC    40C q = 50  4.18  40q = 8376 JoulesThe heat capacity of 50g of water when its temperature is raised from 25C to 65C is 8376 Joules.
