Answer: chemical energy is converted to heat and light energy
Explanation: exothermic reaction
4CH3+7O2–>6 H2O+4CO2+energy
Mass of water = 80 x 18
= 1440 grams
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/gK
Heat absorbed from water = mCpΔT
= 1440 x 4.186 x (21.6 - 18.1)
= 21.1 kJ
Moles of NH₄NO₃ = 3.53 / (14 + 4 + 14 + 16 x 3)
= 0.044 mol
Heat of solution = 21.1/0.044 kJ/mol
= 480 kJ/mol
