Answer:
Q = 30284.88 j
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of ethanol = 257 g
Cp = 2.4 j/g.°C
Chnage in temperature = ΔT = 49.1°C
Heat required = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Now we will put the values in formula.
Q = 257 g× 2.4 j/g.°C × 49.1 °C
Q = 30284.88 j
