A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 6.47 kJ/K. When a 0.107 g sample of ethylene (C2H4) was burned in this calorimeter, the temperature increased by 2.18 K. Calculate the energy of combustion for one mole of ethylene.
Added by Carlos V.
Step 1
First, we need to find the energy released by the combustion of the 0.107-g sample of ethylene. We can do this using the heat capacity of the calorimeter and the temperature increase: Energy released = Heat capacity × Temperature increase Energy released = 6.47 Show more…
