Jazlene Ho · Answer 1

A) 50 kJ.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy that energy can not be destroyed or created from nothing but it can be converted from one form to another. In a closed system; the amount of heat released by a part of the system is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by other parts of the system.

Q released = Q absorbed.

So, the energy liberated from the air or the walls of the container is 50 kJ.
