Solution

To calculate the heat absorbed by the substance, we can use the formula for heat transfer:

Q = m * c * ΔT

where: Q = heat absorbed m = mass of the substance c = specific heat capacity ΔT = change in temperature

In this case, the water equivalent of the substance is given as 6 grams. This means that the substance absorbs heat in the same way as 6 grams of water. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.18 J/g°C.

The change in temperature (ΔT) is given as 10°C.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

Q = 6g * 4.18 J/g°C * 10°C = 250.8 J

So, the substance absorbs 250.8 Joules of heat.
