If a reaction produces 1.506 kj of heat, which is trapped in 30.0 g of water initially at 26.5 c on a clorimetr liake hat in figure 5.12, what is the resulting temperature of water?

The final temperature of water is 38.5°C

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

where,

q = heat absorbed = 1.506 kJ = 1506 J   (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

m = mass of water = 30 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 Jl/g.°C

= change in temperature =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the final temperature of water is 38.5°C
