The heat of a reaction may be found with the equation q=mcΔT. A hot pot is set on a 2.51 kg slab of granite. The temperature of the granite increases from room temperature, 23.5°C, to 98.6°C. Calculate the heat absorbed by the granite given that the specific heat capacity of granite is 0.79 J/(g*°C). A) 47 kJ B) 129 kJ C) 149 kJ D) 196 kJ
