4.05 g of methane is burned and all of the heat from this is absorbed by 1.0x10^3 g of 20.0 degree C water (which has a specific heat of 4.18 J/g°C). What is the final temperature of the water?
Added by Sofia I.
Step 1
The molar mass of methane (CH4) is approximately 16.04 g/mol. So, 4.05 g of methane is approximately 0.252 mol. The combustion of one mole of methane releases approximately 890 kJ of heat. Therefore, the combustion of 0.252 mol of methane releases approximately Show more…
