A certain chemical reaction releases 3.45 kJ of heat energy per mole of reactant consumed. Suppose some moles of the reactant are put into a calorimeter (a device for measuring heat flow). It takes 50.9 J of heat energy to raise the temperature of this calorimeter by 1°C. Now the reaction is run until all the reactant is gone, and the temperature of the calorimeter is found to rise by 10.5°C. Calculate the number of moles of reactant that were consumed.

Question
how to approach
A certain chemical reaction releases 3.45
kJ of heat energy per mole of reactant
consumed. Suppose some moles of the
reactant are put into a calorimeter (a
device for measuring heat flow). It takes
50.9 J of heat energy to raise the
temperature of this calorimeter by 1°C.
Now the reaction is run until all the
reactant is gone, and the temperature of
the calorimeter is found to rise by 10.5°C.
Calculate the number of moles of reactant
that were consumed.
(Write a number to the correct
number of significant figures. Write
JUST the number, WITHOUT UNITS)
