(a) The accurately known molar heat of combustion of naphthalene, C 10 H 8 (s), H =- 5156.8 kJ/mol C 10 H 8 ,

(a) The accurately known molar heat of combustion of naphthalene, C10H8(s), ΔH =-5156.8 kJ/mol C10H8, is used to calibrate calorimeters. The complete combustion of 0.01520 g of C10H8 at constant pressure raises the temperature of a calorimeter by 0.212°C. Find the heat capacity of the calorimeter. 

(b) The initial temperature of the calorimeter (part a) is 22.102°C; 0.1040 g of C8H18(/), octane (molar heat of combustion Δ= -5451.4 kJ/mol C8H18,) is completely burned in the calorimeter. Find the final temperature of the calorimeter.
