Help with this assignment? You place 3.52 g of sodium hydroxide to dissolve in a calorimeter cup. The cup contains 1,000.0 mL of water at 20.00°C (in a calorimeter cup). As the sodium hydroxide dissolves, the temperature of the surrounding water increases to 23.70°C.
Complete the table below and determine the total energy released.
Use the formula: q=mxCxΔT
Specific Heat of water 4.18 J/g0C

I need to find Mass of Water (g), Total Energy Released (J), Change in Temperature (°C), and  Total Energy Released (J)

aaronq · Answer

the density of water is typically given as $1 ~g/mL$, so you can use the volume to find the mass.

The change in temp is just the difference between the final and initial temperatures.

$\huge \sf \Delta T=T_{final}-T_{initial}$

Then for total energy released (q), use the formula they gave you.
