The final answer is -322, 320 Joules. The solution for the problem is:

The equation that must be used in this problem is:

U = mCp(Tf-Ti)

where:
U = energy released or absorbed in Joules
m = mass in kg
Cp = specific heat of material in J/kg-C
Tf = final temperature, C
Ti = initial temperature, C

Looking up the Cp of granite gives a value of 790 J/kg-C.

U = 17kg (790 J/kg-C) (21-45)
U = - 322, 320 Joules (negative means heat is released)

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

according to my reading

use own words

Explanation:

Salts are combinations of acids and bases. The cation comes from a base and the anion from an acid. Therefore, to make KNO3 we react KOH and HNO3. See how that is done? We write K and add OH to make KOH. We take NO3 and add H to make HNO3.
