Answer: The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.
Explanation:
Energy absorbed by the reaction or energy lost by the water to the reaction,Q.
Mass of the the reaction ,m = 60 g
Specific heat of water = c = 4.15 J\g ^oC
Change is temperature=
Negative sigh indicates that energy was given by the water to the reaction.
The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.
