You have to use the equation q=mcΔT and solve for T(final).  
T(final)=(q/mc)+T(initial)
q=the amount of energy absorbed or released (in this case 868J)
m=the mass of the sample (in this case 15.6g)
c= the specific heat capacity of the substance (in this case 2.41 J/g°C)
T(initial)=the initial temperature of the sample (in this case 21.5°C)

When you plug everything in, you should get 44.6°C.
Therefore the final temperature of ethanol is 44.6°C

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Consider the following unbalanced equation. N2+ O2=N2O. When the equation is completely balanced using smallest whole numbers, t
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Since you are balancing the equation you need to have equal amounts of each element on each side. Right now there is 2n and 2o on one side, and on the other 2n and 1o. Although the number of n's on each side is equal the number of o's are not. First I balance the number of oxygen's on each below, but doing that made the number of nitrogen's unbalanced. So then I balanced the nitrogens in step 2.

__N2+ __O2 = __N2O

1. __N2+ __O2 =  2 N20

2. 2 N2 + 1 O2 = 2 N2O

Lena [83]
We calculate the entropy of an ideal gas follows:

<span>For an isothermal compression, change in internal energy is equal to zero.</span>
<span>Thus, the heat added to the gas is equal to the work done on the gas which is given as 1750 J.</span>

<span>Entropy would be 1750/301 = 5.81 J/K </span>

Cubes are three-dimensional square shapes that have equal sides. What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 12.6 g and a m
ratelena [41]

Answer:

A.  0.1828 g/cm³

Explanation:

Hi there,

Density's well known formula is Greek letter rho:   ρ =\frac{m}{V}= \frac{m}{a^3}    where m is the mass, and V is volume. Since the volume in question is a cube, the volume of a cube is simply the edge length V = a³

V = (4.1 cm)³ = 68.921 cm³

ρ = \frac{12.6 g}{68.921 cm^3} = 0.1828 g/cm³

Thanks,
