If the temperature of a solution goes from 27 degrees celcius to 36 degrees celcius for a 5,0 g sample, how would you determine the energy produced by the reaction?
q = mass x specific heat x delta T.
I don't know i need a answer to this
To determine the energy produced by the reaction, you would need to calculate the change in thermal energy, also known as heat transfer (q). The formula to calculate the heat transfer is given by:
q = mcΔT
Where:
q = heat transfer (energy produced by the reaction)
m = mass of the solution (5.0 g in this case)
c = specific heat capacity of the solution
ΔT = change in temperature (from 27°C to 36°C in this case)
To perform the calculation, you would need to know the specific heat capacity of the solution. The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Once you have determined the specific heat capacity of the solution, you can substitute the values in the formula to get the energy produced by the reaction (heat transfer).
