Answer 1

Answer:

The correct equation to calculate the heat of this reaction is:

ΔH = m*s*∆T

Explanation:

During any chemical reaction, heat can either be absorbed from the environment or released to the environment through the reaction. The heat exchange between a chemical reaction and its environment is known as the reaction enthalpy, or H. However, H cannot be measured directly; the change in temperature of a reaction over time is used to find the enthalpy change over time (denoted as ΔH).

In general ΔH = m*s*∆T, where m is the mass of the reactants, s is the specific heat of the product, and ΔT is the change in the reaction temperature.
