When 90cm^3 of methane is burned, the heat produced is used to raise the temperature of 100 cm^3 of water from 20.0°C to 50.0C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction.
I'm not getting the same answer as the textbook...Please tell me whether my method is correct
All you do here is use the formula mass x specific heat capacity x change in temp. So,
the enthalpy change would be -(100/1000) x (4.18) x (30) = -12.54 KJ ?
