A civil engineer is designing a cooling system for a massive concrete pour to prevent thermal cracking. Calculate the amount of heat energy (q) required to cool a 5000kg block of concrete from 40.0∘C to 20.0∘C. The specific heat capacity (c) of this concrete mix is 0.880J/(g⋅∘C).

Hess's Law: Combustion of Methane
Calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion (ΔHc∘) for methane (CH4) given the standard enthalpies of formation (ΔHf∘) for the reactants and products:
ΔHf∘(CO2(g))=−393.5kJ/molΔHf∘(H2O(l))=−285.8kJ/molΔHf∘(CH4(g))=−74.8kJ/mol
