A 0.003913 mol sample of an organic compound was burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increased from 23.1 °C to 25.7 °C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.24 kJ (°C)−1, then what is the constant volume heat of combustion of this compound, in kilojoules per mole?

1 answer

4.24(25.7-23.1) = ?
? / 0.0039 = ? should be ~ 2817 kJ/mol, but negative bc heat is going into surroundings
