Question:

The heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter was determined by burning 6.79 g of methane (energy of combustion = –802 kJ/ mol CH4) in the bomb. The temperature changed by 10.8oC.
a. What is the heat capacity of the bomb?
b. A 12.6-g sample of acetylene (C2H2) produced a temperature increase of 16.9oC in the same calorimeter. What is the energy of combustion of acetylene (in kJ/ mol)?
