Converting the specific heat into kJ/kg°C, we get that the specific heat capacity is 3.52 kJ/kg°C
Now, we use the equation:
Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of substance, c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature of the mass of substance. Substituting these values, we get:
Q = 1.4 x 3.52 x (27.45 - 28.5)
Q = -5.17 kJ
The reaction absorbs 5.17 kilojoules of energy.
