Question

Hello, I just want to know if the work i attached for a calorimetry lab is correct,  is the qcal supposed to be positive in the reaction or is teh work shown incorrect

50.0 mL of water at 40.5 °C is added to a calorimeter containing 50.0 mL of water at 1
After waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 28.3 °C. Calcu
heat capacity of the calorimeter. (sp_heat of water = 4.184 J/gx°C)
Athot
Atcold
qhot
qcold
=
qcal
=
28.3 °C -40.5 °C
-12.2 °C
28.3 °C -17.4 °C
10.9 °C
mxsp_heat At
(50.0 g)x(4.184 J/gx°C)x(-12.2 °C)
-2550 J
mxsp_heat At
(50.0 g)x(4.184 J/gX°C)x(10.9 °C)
2280 J
By rearranging the equation, qhot '
IV
- (q cold
+qcal), we can solve for q cal:
qhot - qcold
2550 J - 2280 J
