Question

Suppose that 3,248 J of heat is removed from 86.5 grams of octane at an initial temperature of 25.0°C. What is the final temperature? (The specific heat of octane, C8H18(l), is 2.22 J/(g °C).)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the heat of any process at constant pressure is given by 

Q = mCΔT 

where Q = heat given = -3248 J                                                                  ( -ve since heat is being removed)

m = mass = 86.5 g

C = specific heat = 2.22 J/(g °C)

ΔT = change in temperature = final temperature - initial temperature = T - 25
