Step 1
The heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance can be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT Where: Q = heat energy (in joules) m = mass of the substance (in kilograms) c = specific heat capacity of the substance (in joules per kilogram per Show more…

3.5 g of a hydrocarbon fuel is burned in a vessel that contains 250. grams of water initially at 25.00 C. After the combustion, the temperature of the water is 26.55 C. How much heat is evolved per gram of fuel burned? 1. 73.5 J/g 2. 1263 J/g 3. 463 J/g 4. 143 J/g 5. 1105 J/g 6. 1764 J/g 7. 26555 J/g 8. 511 J/g

In a certain gas stove, 40% of the energy released in the burning fuel is used to heat the water in the pot that is placed above the stove. If 1.5 kg of water is heated from 35°C to 100°C and 0.55 kg of it boils away, how much gasoline was burned in the process assuming each gram of gasoline releases 50 kJ of energy?
