How much heat must be absorbed by 125 g of ethanol to change its temperature from 21.5 oc to 34.8 oc?

Q: How much heat must be absorbed by 125 g of ethanol to change its temperature from 21.5 oC to 34.8 oC?  The specific heat of ethanol is 2.44 J/(gC).

4056.5 J

Explanation:

The formula for the specific heat capacity of ethanol is given as

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) Equation 1

Where q = quantity of heat, c = specific heat capacity of ethanol, m = mass of ethanol, t₁ = initial temperature of ethanol, t₂ = final temperature of ethanol.

Given: m = 125 g, t₁ = 25.5 °C, t₂ = 34.8 °C

Constant; c = 2.44 J/g.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 125(2.44)(34.8-21.5)

Q = 125(2.44)(13.3)

Q = 4056.5 J.

Hence the amount of heat absorbed = 4056.5 J

c, 1a hope this

12000j is work done
