To begin the experiment, 1.5g of methane ch4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1,000 grams of water. the initial temperature of water is 25°c. the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 j/°c . after the reaction the final temperature of the water is 37°c. using the formula qcal =ccal • δt, calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter. show work.

The calorimeter absorbs 8.3 kJ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by the calorimeter is

q = CcalΔT

Data:

Ccal = 695 J/°C

T₁ = 25 °C; T₂ = 37 °C

Calculations:

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

ΔT = 37 - 25

ΔT = 12 °C

q = 695 × 12  

q = 8300 J

q = 8.3 kJ

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
