A calorimeter was used to measure the heat change when an ionic compound dissolves in water. The final mass of the contents of the calorimeter was 50.89 g and the change in temperature was 1.80 degree C.


Calculate the heat change of the calorimeter contents given that its specific heat is 4.11 J(g C)

the answer
the main formula is given by
Q=mSDT
 where m= mass
             s= specific heat
             DT= change in temperature

so  Q =  50.89 x 1.8x 4.11 = 376.48
