Question

6. During the combustion of 1.00 g of coal, the temperature of 500 g of water inside the calorimeter increased from 25.0 °C to 30 °C. If the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g. °c, calculate the amount of heat generated by the reaction.

Answer 1

Q = 500 g * 4.18 J/g. °C * 5.0 °C = 10,450 J

In conclusion, the amount of heat generated by the reaction is 10,450 J.
