To begin the experiment, 1.11g of methane CH4is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1000 grams of water. The initial temperature of water is 24.85oC. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 J / oC. After the reaction the final temperature of the water is 35.65oC.

Using the formula qwater = m•c•ΔT, calculate the heat absorbed by the water

Using the formula qcal = Ccal •ΔT, calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
