Part a a calorimeter consists of an aluminum cup inside of an insulated container. The cup is weighed on a top-loading balance and is found to have a mass of 31. 91 g. A reaction is conducted in the calorimeter, raising the temperature from 21. 2 c to 26. 1 c what is the change in heat q for the aluminum cup in units of j? aluminum has a specific heat of 0. 903 j 1 ? 1 write your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Sagot :

Answer:

141 J  

Explanation:

The lowest sig digits in a calculation determine the sig dig of the answer

The temps are listed with 3 significant digits and the spec heat is 3 sig digits  (the mass has 4 sig digs) .....so answer will need 3 digits

31.91 g   * .903 J/g-C  *  (26.1 - 21.2 C) = 141 J   (three sig dig)
