1) A 45.7 g sample of glass was brought to thermal equilibrium with boiling water and then transferred to 250.0 g of water that was at 22.5 °C. This combination reached thermal equilibrium at 24.2 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of glass?

answer; natural resources;

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
