Answer to Question #285496 in General Chemistry for secret

Question

A 7.547 g fuel which has a heating value of 33 kJ/kg is burned in a calorimeter and initially at 25.00 degC. Upon triggering the temperature become 28.50 degC.

what is the delta t of the calorimeter?

Answer 1

Assuming that the question is asking for Delta T (change in temperature)

Delta T = T(final) - T(initial)

= 28.5 °C - 25.0 °C

= 3.5K
