A sample of octane (C8H18) that has a mass of 0.750 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter. As a result, the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 21.0°C to 41.0°C. The specific heat of the calorimeter is 1.50 J/(g • °C), and its mass is 1.00 kg. How much heat is released during the combustion of this sample? Use . 22.5 J 30.0 J 31.5 J 61.5 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

specific heat, c = 1.5 J/g°C

rise in temperature, ΔT = 41 - 21 = 20

heat released, H = m x c x ΔT

H = 1 x 1.5 x 1000 x 20

H = 30,000 J

H = 30 kJ.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
