1.11g of methane CH4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1000 grams of water. The initial temperature of water is 24.85C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 J/ C . After the reaction the final temperature of the water is 35.65C.

Using the formula water q =m•c• ΔT ,calculate the heat absorbed by the water

Question

1.11g of methane CH4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1000 grams of water. The initial temperature of water is 24.85C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 J/ C . After the reaction the final temperature of the water is 35.65C.

Using the formula water q =m•c• ΔT ,calculate the heat absorbed by the water

zale101 · Answer

q is the heat
m is the mass in grams
delta t is the temperature change (T Final- T initial)
C is the specific heat capacity of water

You are giving all of the information, so just plug and chug into the equation
q =m•c• ΔT
