In one experiment, the temperature of 50 g of water increased from 22.0 °C to 38.4 °C. The mass of alcohol burned was 0.8 g. Calculate the heat energy (Q) in joules, released by burning 0.8 g of the alcohol.

Key Equation: Q = mcΔT Where: Q = heat transferred (J), m = mass of substance which is heated (g), c = heat capacity of water (J g-...
