Question 1035221: A 1.000 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1200 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00ºC. After the reaction, the final temperature of the water is 33.20ºC. Assuming all the heat is absorbed by the water, how many calories were in the 1.000 g of octane. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Heat content
Q = mc*delta T (c is the specific heat of water)
Q = 1200*1*(33.2-25) = 1200*8.2 = 9840 cal or 9.84 kcal
