Answer: 20.93J/g

Explanation:

  • The formula to calculate the energy is E=mcΔT, where m is the mass of the water, c is its specific heat and ΔT is change in the temperature.
  • Given that m is 0.05kg, ΔT is 50°C and c of water is 4.186J/kg°C.
  • E=mcΔT=0.05×50×4.186=10.465J.
  • Mass of fuel is 0.5g.
  • Energy per mass of fuel is 10.465/0.5=20.93J/g.
