Chapter 9, Problem 85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass of acetylene that must be burned to raise the temperature of 1.0 gal of water by ${\text{10}}^{\text{o}}\text{ C}$ needs to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: The relation between heat and change in temperature is given as:

  $\text{q = mc}\Delta \text{T}$

Where q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and $\Delta \text{T}$ is change in temperature.
