**Problem Statement:**Burning 1.09 g of a fuel causes the water in a calorimeter to increase by 14.7°C. If the calorimeter has a heat capacity of 3.09 kJ/°C, what is the energy density of the fuel (in kJ/g)?**Input Section:**Type answer:[Text Box]**Submit Button:**CHECK**Explanation:**This text is part of an exercise where students need to calculate the energy density of a fuel based on the heat energy transferred to a calorimeter. Students have to use the formula for energy transfer:\[ \text{Energy} = \text{Heat Capacity} \times \Delta T \]\[ \text{Energy Density} = \frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Mass of Fuel}} \]Given:- Mass of fuel = 1.09 g- Temperature increase (\(\Delta T\)) = 14.7°C- Heat capacity = 3.09 kJ/°CStudents need to find the energy density in kJ/g by first calculating the total energy absorbed by the calorimeter and then dividing it by the mass of the fuel burned.

When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 3.95 g of CuCl2(s) are dissolved in 108.60 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.05 to 26.27 °C.
