Question

Solve the following problems using the G.R.A.S.P. method. 

3. A solid substance has a mass of 150 grams. It is cooled from 25°C to 5°C and loses 8.675 kJ of heat.
What is the specific heat capacity of the substance?

4. A 15.0 g sample of ethanol in an alcohol burner, is used as fuel to heat up 2.0 L of coffee from 22.3°C to
80.6°C. Assuming that no heat was lost, what is the molar enthalpy change of the complete combustion of the
ethanol? The specific heat capacity of the coffee is the same as the specific heat capacity of water.

*Hint you will need to know the formula for ethanol*
