q = mCat
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm kinda confused the different between Hrxn and q? I know the reaction warms the water with q=mcat = 150*4.18*(59.5-20)=24766.5 J. This is the heat released from 1.25 grams of Ca which is 0.03 moles of Ca. But, the reaction equation only have calcium per 1 mole so i thought that i would divide q by 0.03 = 825550 J or 825KJ, but this is not an answer.
Can someone help me with these heat problems? Thanks
