We did an experiment where we used energy from burning paraffin wax to heat a known volume of water. We used the equation q = - cp(water) x m(water) x ∆T (water) to calculate the amount of heat transfered to water. The mass of fuel burned was then taken into account to calculate the heat per gram ...
