The initial temperature of a bomb calorimeter is 28,50°C. When a chemist carries out a reaction in this calorimeter, its
temperature decreases to 27.45°C. If the calorimeter has a mass of 1.400 kg and a specific heat of 3.52 J/g °C), how much
heat is absorbed by the reaction?

your answer would be a. 12.5 kg

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
