final solution formed by 20ml Sol. A + 30ml Sol. B
specific heat of solution is 4.18 J
density is 1.02 g/ml
initial temperature of reactants: 21.4 degrees C
final temperature: 25.3 degrees C

^H=mC^T
^H=(51)(4.18)(3.9)
^H= 831 J (3 sig figs)

the above was calculated for a problem on my prelab. the next problem says, if the calorimeter that was used to measure this reaction has a heat capacity of 8.20 J/degrees C, what is the heat of reaction if you include a correction for the heat absorbed by the container?

Qgained = Qlost
Qlost= Q(of reaction) + Q(calorimeter)
