Step 1
We know that the heat given off by the sample is 10481 J and this caused a temperature increase of 2.24°C in the calorimeter. So, we can calculate the heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter using the formula: C = q / ΔT where: - C is the heat capacity, - q is Show more…

A sample gives off 5228 cal when burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter assembly increases by $4.39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter, in kilojoules per degree Celsius.
The heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter was determined by burning 6.79 g methane (energy of combustion $=-802 \mathrm{kJ} /$ $\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{CH}_{4}$ in the bomb. The temperature changed by $10.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ a. What is the heat capacity of the bomb? b. A 12.6 -g sample of acetylene, $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2},$ produced a temperature increase of $16.9^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in the same calorimeter. What is the energy of combustion of acetylene (in $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} )$ ?
