Calculate the final temperature of 35 mL of ethanol initially at 20 ∘C upon absorption of 720 J of heat. (density of ethanol =0.789 g/mL)

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 joules per gram.
Now, we may use the equation:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Here we may substitute:
mass = density * volume

Energy = density * volume * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
720 = 0.789 * 35 * 2.46 * ΔT
ΔT = 10.6

The final temperature will be
20 + 10.6
= 30.6 °C
