A 0.242 g sample of napthalene (C10Hg) is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1025 g of water.
How much will the temperature rise, At?
The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 802 J/°C.
The heat of combustion of naphthalene is -5.15 x 103 kJ/mol
The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C.
HINT: The heat evolved from the combustion of napthalene = heat absorbed by the calorimeter + heat
absorbed by water
O 1.67 °C
