Question

when 1.00g of sucrose C12H22O11 was combusted in a calorimeter to give CO1 and H20, the temperature rose from 25.00 to 27.32 C. The calorimeter itself had a heat capacity of 837JC and was submersed in 1500.0g of water. Find the heat of combustion of sucrose.

How would I go about finding the answer?

Answer 1

q = [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (delta T)]+[Ccal*delta T] = 0

Answer 2

q=(1500.0g H2O)(4.184J K^-1)(2.32K)
