Answer:
Final temperature = 100°C
Explanation:
The general equation of a coffee cup calorimeter is:
Q = m×C×ΔT
Where Q is the heat added to the system (3.6kJ = 3600J), m is the mass of the substance (200.0g), C is specific heat (0.240J /g°C) and ΔT is change in temperature).
Computing the values:
3600J = 200.0g×0.240J/(g°C)×ΔT
75°C = ΔT
ΔT is the difference in temperature between final and initial temperature. As intital temperature was 25°C:
75°C = Final T - 25°C
Final temperature = 100°C
