The combustion of 0.1568 g of benzoic acid increases the temperature of a bomb calorimeter by 2.57°C. Calculate the heat capacity of this calorimeter. (The energy released by combustion of benzoic acid is 26.42 kJ/g.)
Heat capacity = _______ kJ/°C
A 0.2105 g sample of vanillin (C8H8O3) is then burned in the same calorimeter, and the temperature increases by 3.29°C. What is the energy of combustion per gram of vanillin?
Energy = _______ kJ/g
Per mole of vanillin?
Energy = ______ kJ/mol
