8. If a sample of chloroform is initially at 25°C, what is its final temperature if 150.0 g of chloroform absorbs 1.0 kilojoules of heat, and the specific heat of chloroform is 00.96 J/gºC?

The final temperature is 31.95° C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial temperature of a sample of chloroform,

Mass of chloroform, m = 150 g

It absorbs 1 kJ of heat, Q = 10³ J

The specific heat of chloroform, c = 00.96 J/gºC

We need to find the final temperature. The heat absorbed by an object in terms of specific heat is given by :

So, the final temperature is 31.95° C.
