q = mC∆T
q = heat = ?
m = mass = 150.0 ml x 1.02 g/ml = 153 g
C = specific heat = 4.18 J/gº
∆T = change in temperature = -6.21º
Solving for q..
q = (153 g)(4.18 J/gº)(6.21º)
q = 3972 J = 3970 J (3 sig. figs.) The sign is + because the temperature of solution decreased meaning the reaction is endothermic and thus q is positive.
