Question
PROBLEM SET (1): A calorimeter is to be used to compare the energy content of some fuels. In the calibration of the
calorimeter, an electrical resistance heater supplies 100.0 J of heat and a temperature increase of 0.850°C is observed. Then
0.245 g of a particular fuel is burned in this same calorimeter, and the temperature increases by 5.23°C. What is the heat
capacity of the calorimeter?
O 117.65 J/°C
2.51 kJ/g
615 J
-615 J
QUESTION 2
1.1 Based from PROBLEM SET (1), what is the heat evolved
O 117.65 J/C
615 J
-615 J
2.51 kJ/g
fuel, qfuel?
QUESTION 3
1.2 Based from PROBLEM SET (1), what is the energy density (amount of energy liberated per gram of fuel burned) of this
fuel?
O 118 J/g
117.65 J/°C
615 J/g
2.51 kJ/g
