Explanation:
The temperature change in the bomb calorimeter can be calculated using this formula:
Q = m * C * ΔT
ΔT = Q/(m * C)
Where ΔT is the change in temperature, Q is the heat or energy that the reaction produced, m is the mass and C is the specific heat.
Q = 4.29 J m = 4.20 g C = 2.45 J/(g*°C)
We can replace these values in the formula and get the answer to our problem.
ΔT = Q/(m * C)
ΔT = 4.29 J /(4.20 g * 2.45 J/(g°C)
ΔT = 0.417 °C
Answer: The temperature change is 0.417 °C.
