Calculate liters of water?

Hello, I have a question about the task:

How many liters of water would be needed to absorb this amount of heat? (Heat capacity: 4.2 kJ/kg K)

I had 31818 kj out in the previous heat

given are still T=70 degrees, T=25 degrees

I thought that I could perhaps get the result with the formula Q=m*Cp*deltaT if I simply rearrange the formula for m… but how do I then get the volume?

One of the few material constants that one should have in the head: 1 kg of water has quite exactly the volume 1 l=1 dm3 at customary temperatures.

Mass by density equal volume

density 997.04 kg/m3.at 25°C

0,99704 kg per liter

Do you really think it’s 5 digits for r/important, while the heat capacity has only 2 digits?

As long as it is not otherwise required, the density of water is 1.0 kg/L

No, I always reckon with 1.0.

Just wanted to clarify that there are differences for some acutely dizzying teachers.

You’re right.
