What is the specific heat of combustion of kerosene if during the combustion of 200 g

What is the specific heat of combustion of kerosene if during the combustion of 200 g of kerosene 9200 kJ of heat is released?

As we know from the school physics course, the amount of heat that is released during the combustion of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = q * m, where q is the specific heat of combustion we are looking for, and m is, respectively, the mass of the substance.

Then the specific heat of combustion will be:

q = Q: m.

Let us determine what the specific heat of combustion of kerosene will equal when, during the combustion of 200 grams, 9200 kJ was released:

9200 kJ = 9200000 J;

200 g = 0.2 kg;

9,200,000: 0.2 = 46,000,000.

Answer: 46,000,000 J / kg.
