Question

In a calorimetry experiment the water absorbs 273 J of heat (q), how much heat (q) is released by the metal if no heat is lost? Remember: -qreleased = qabsorbed ANS: _____ kJ/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

qreleased = -273J.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this calorimetry question, and keeping in mind that the hot substance releases heat to the cold substance which absorbs it, according to:

-qreleased = qabsorbed

In such a wat, since the water absorbs 273 J of heat and no heat is lost, the amount of this measurement released by the metal is:

-qreleased = 273J  

qreleased = -273J
