a calorimeter consists of an aluminum cup inside of an insulated container. the cup
is weighed on a top-loading balance and is found to have a mass of 42.14 g. a
reaction is conducted in the calorimeter, raising the temperature from 20.00°c to
26.41°c. what is the change in heat, q, for the aluminum cup, in units of j?
aluminum has a specific heat of 0.903 j g-1 °c-1.

The equation below shows a chemical reaction. a + b + heat —> c + d according to the law of conservation of energy, which statement is true? a. the reactants absorb heat because they have less energy than the products. b. the products release heat because they have more energy than the reactants. c. the reactants generate heat because they have more energy than the products. d. the products require heat to form because they have less energy than the reactants.
