The reaction described takes place in solution in a coffe-cup style calorimeter.  We will assume that the cups absorb or release a negligible amount of heat so we will not need to worry about the calorimeter constant or qcal.   If the total mass of the solution in the calorimeter is 26.22 g and and the solution increases from 15.86 °C to 53.83 °C, what is the value of q in joules for the reaction. Include the correct sign with your value of q. C = 4.179 J/g°C for the solution.
