Answer:

C) 43,2°C

Explanation:

Sensible heat is the amount of thermal energy that is required to change the temperature of an object, the equation for calculating the heat change is  given by:

Q=msΔT

where:

  • Q, heat that has been absorbed or realeased by the substance [J]
  • m, mass of the substance [g]
  • s, specific heat capacity [J/g°C]
  • ΔT, changes in the substance temperature [°C]

To solve the problem, we clear ΔT of the equation and then replace our data:

Q=890 [J],

m=16,6 [g],

s=2,74 [J/g°C]

Q=msΔT.......................ΔT=Q/ms

Δ[tex]T=\frac{890 J}{16,6g*2,47\frac{J}{gC}}=21,7[/tex]°C

As:

ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial

Tfinal=ΔT+Tinitial

Tfinal=21,7+21,5=43,2°C

The final temperature of the ethanol is 43,2°C.
