The final temperature, t₂ = 30.9 °C
Further explanation
Given
24.0 kJ of heat = 24,000 J
Mass of calorimeter = 1.3 kg = 1300 g
Cs = 3.41 J/g°C
t₁= 25.5 °C
Required
The final temperature, t₂
Solution
Q = m.Cs.Δt
Q out (combustion of compound) = Q in (calorimeter)
24,000 = 1300 x 3.41 x (t₂-25.5)
t₂ = 30.9 °C
