Question

Calculate the amount of heat needed to boil 64.7 g of benzene (C6H6), beginning from a temperature of 41.9 C . Round your answer to significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.

Answer 1

Answer: The amount of heat needed is = 4.3kJ

Explanation:

Amount of heat H = M × C × ΔT

M= mass of benzene = 64.7g

C= specific heat capacity = 1.74J/gK

ΔT = T2-T1

Where T1 is initai temperature = 41.9C

T2 is the final temperature( boiling point of benzene) = 80.1C

H= 64.7×1.74×80.7

H= 4300J

H=4.3kJ

Therefore, the amount of heat needed is 4.3kJ
