| How many degrees will 3kg of water heat up, if all the amount of heat is produced during the combustion of 10g of alcohol, goes to heat it?
These tasks: m1 (mass of heated water) = 3 kg; m2 (mass of alcohol consumed) = 10 g (10 * 10 ^ -3 kg).
Reference values: Cw (specific heat capacity of water) = 4200 J / (kg * K); q (specific heat of combustion of alcohol) = 2.7 * 10 ^ 7 J / kg.
We express the change in water temperature due to the combustion of alcohol from the following equality: Sv * m1 * Δt = Q = q * m2, whence Δt = q * m2 / (Sv * m1).
Calculation: Δt = 2.7 * 10 ^ 7 * 10 * 10 ^ -3 / (4200 * 3) = 21.43 ºС.
Answer: The water will heat up by 21.43 ºС.
