In this video, we want to determine the molar heat of combustion of pyrine, which has the formula c -16 h -10.
00:07
And we use calorimetry.
00:08
So the heat that is released by the combustion is going to be the negative of the heat gained by the surroundings, which in this case is the water system and the calorimeter added together.
00:21
So to find the heat associated with the water, it's going to be mc -d delta t.
00:27
M is the mass of the water, which is given as 1 .170 times 10 to the negative 3 grams.
00:36
C is the specific heat of water 4 .184 joules per gram times degrees celsius.
00:42
And then our temperature change is the final minus the initial temperature.
00:46
So that's given as 26 .87 minus 23 .76, which is 3 .11 degrees celsius.
00:56
So we can go ahead and multiply this out, and we get 15 ,224 joules.
01:10
I'll round off at the end to significant figures just to preserve the accuracy.
01:15
Now for the calorimiter, it's a heat capacity of the calorimiter times the change in temperature.
01:23
We don't have to account for the mass because that's factored into the heat capacity.
01:27
So heat capacity is given as 49 .4 jules and then our change in temperature is the same as for the water.
01:35
It's 3 .11 degrees celsius...
