Attempt 2
At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound, compound A, is -3605.0 kJ/mol. When 1.583 g of
compound A (molar mass = 116.21 g/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its
contents) rose by 4.621 °C.
What is the heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of the calorimeter?
C=
KJ/°C
Suppose a 3.075 g sample of a second compound, compound B, is combusted in the same calorimeter, and the temperature rises
from 25.25 °C to 29.82 °C.
What is the heat of combustion per gram of compound B?
heat of combustion:
kJ/g
