'Wave' is a common term for a number of different ways in which energy is transferred: In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels.
In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.
In a closed system, heat should be conserved which means that the heat produced in the calorimeter is equal to the heat released by the combustion reaction. We calculate as follows:
Heat of the combustion reaction = mC(T2-T1) = 1 (1.50) (41-21) = 30 kJ
