To calculate the heat absorbed by the ethanol, we can use the formula:
q = m x C x ΔT
Where:
q = heat absorbed (in Joules)
m = mass of ethanol (in grams) = 34.4 g
C = specific heat capacity of ethanol = 2.44 J/g°C
ΔT = change in temperature = 78.8°C - 25.0°C = 53.8°C
Now, we can plug in the values:
q = 34.4 g x 2.44 J/g°C x 53.8°C
q = 4480.288 Joules
Therefore, the heat absorbed by the ethanol is 4480.288 Joules.
If the tempature of 34.4 g of ethanol increases from 25.0 C to 78.8 C, how much heat has been absorbed by the ethonal?
