The reaction is as follows:
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) ==> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)
For heat transfer to water, etc. we can use the following equation:
q = mC∆T
q = heat = ?
m = mass of water = 1.10 kg
C = specific heat of water = 4.184 kJ/kgº
∆T = change in temperature = ?
So, we have 2 unknowns (q and ∆T and cannot answer the question as written). You can either look up the ∆Hrxn or you can look up ∆Hformation of reactants and products and find ∆Hrxn. But without this value, we cannot solve the problem.
