Answer : The amount of heat released by the fuel per 1 gram of the fuel is 3344 J.
Explanation :
Heat released by the fuel = Heat absorbed by the water
Formula used :
or,
where,
Q = heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of water = 200 g
c = specific heat of water =
= initial temperature =
= final temperature =
Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:
Thus, the heat absorbed by the water is 33440 J.
As, Heat released by the fuel = Heat absorbed by the water = 33440 J
Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released by the fuel per 1 gram of the fuel.
As, 10.0 grams of fuel released heat = 33440 J
So, 1 grams of fuel released heat =
Hence, the amount of heat released by the fuel per 1 gram of the fuel is 3344 J.
