Question
Explanation / Answer
Heat energy used = number of moles x molar heat capacity x change in temperature
heat energy used = 13 J
change in temperature = 19.5 K (I have taken the initial temperature as -7.9)
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass = 0.405/72 = 0.005625
(molar mass of C4H8O is 72 g/mole)
substitute in the above equation
molar heat capacity = 13/(0.005625 x 19.5) = 118.51 J/K.moles
