A constant volume (bomb) calorimeter was calibrated in an analytical laboratory by

burning 1.057g of benzoic acid (C7H6O2) which has an enthalpy of combustion of -3228 kJ/mol. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 22.75°C to 29.00°C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

1 answer

3228 x (1.057 g/molar mass benzoic acid)= q in kJ
q = Ccal*(Tfinal-Tinitial)
