How much heat is released (in calories) by a sample of Pop Tarts burned in a calorimeter if the temperature of the 100 grams of water in the calorimeter was raised from 23.5°C to 70°C?

19437 J

Explanation:

mass = 100 g

Initial Temperature = 23.5°C

Final Temperature = 70°C

Temperature change, ΔT = 70 - 23.5 = 46.5

Heat = ?

The parameters are related by the equation;

H = mc ΔT

where c = specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C

H = 100 * 4.18 * 46.5 = 19437 J

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
