Question Detail
Question
In a bomb calorimeter experiment, 2 g of sugar raises the temperature of 200 g water from 25°C to 31°C. What is the energy content per gram of sugar? (Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C)
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
q = mCΔT = 200 × 4.18 × 6 = 5016 J = 5.02 kJ. Energy per gram = 5.02 kJ / 2 g = 2.51 kJ/g.
Hint
The notes provide this calculation.
