Heats of reaction are frequently measured by monitoring the change in temperature of a water bath in which the reaction mixture is immersed. A water bath used for this purpose contains 2.000 L of water. In the course of the reaction, the temperature of the water rose $4.85^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (a) How many calories were liberated by the reaction? (b) If $2 \mathrm{kg}$ of a given reactant is consumed in the reaction, how many calories are liberated for each kilogram?
