To begin the experiment, 1.11g of methane is burned in a bomb container containing 1000grams of water. The initial temperature is 24.85 C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g C. The heat capacity is 698 J/ C. The final water temperature is 35.65 C

Calculate the change in temperature

The formula of heat added is presented as
Q = m * c * change in (T)

where
Q - the heat added
m - mass
c - specific heat
Change in temperature - (Tf - To)

Basically, in order for us to know the change in heat, the formula is
Change in temperature = T(final) - T(original)
Change in temperature = 36.65 - 24.85
Change in temperature = 11.8 degrees Celcius

So the change in temperature is 11.8 degrees
