The combustion of 0.1572 g benzoic acid increases the temperature of a bomb calorimeter by 2.52°C. Calculate the heat capacity of this calorimeter. (The energy released by combustion of benzoic acid is 26.42 kJ/g.)
What is the heat capacity in kJ/C? = 1.65 kJ/C
A 0.2197-g sample of vanillin (C8H8O3) is then burned in the same calorimeter, and the temperature increases by 3.28°C. What is the energy of combustion per gram of vanillin?
Energy in kJ/gram?
I know how to find the heat capacity, but I keep getting the energy incorrect.
