5.00 g of octane are burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 2.00 * 10^2 g of water. how many Calories of energy are released if the water temperature increases 6.00 degrees C?
Answered by DrBob222
q = mass x specific heat x delta T.
Answered by DrBob222
That's mass H2O x sp.h.H2O x delta T water.
Answered by laney
do i use the 5.00 g or the 2.00 * 10^2 g?
Answered by laney
ok so it'd be
(2.00*10^2)(6.00 degree C) and then what would be the specific heat?
Answered by Kevin
specific heat of h2o is 4.184
Answered by laney
i got 5020.8
Answered by Kevin
you have to convert it from joules to calories and idk that off hand but other then that it looks good so far
Answered by laney
ok, we didn't do joules in class, so hopefully that's what my teacher wants. thank you!
