Answer:
[tex]Q=-697.06\ J[/tex]
Negative sign says that release of heat.
Explanation:
The expression for the calculation of the heat released or absorbed of a process is shown below as:-
[tex]Q=m\times C\times \Delta T[/tex]
Where,
[tex]\Delta H[/tex] is the heat released or absorbed
m is the mass
C is the specific heat capacity
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the temperature change
Thus, given that:-
Mass = 25.2 g
Specific heat = 0.444 J/g°C
[tex]\Delta T=9.8-72.1\ ^0C=-62.3\ ^0C[/tex]
So,
[tex]Q=25.2\times 0.444\times -62.3\ J=-697.06\ J[/tex]
Negative sign says that release of heat.
