Camphor (C10H16O) has a heat of combustion of 5903.6 kJ/mol. When a sample of camphor with a mass of 0.124 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases by 2.28 oC. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Question

Camphor (C10H16O) has a heat of combustion of  5903.6 kJ/mol.   When a sample of camphor with a mass of 0.124 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases by 2.28 oC.  Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

DrBob222 · Answer

heat generated by camphor is 5903.6 kJ/mol x 0.124/152.24 = ? kJ ?kJ = Ccal x delta T. Solve for Ccal.
