A 12.8 g sample of ethanol (C2H5OH) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5.65 kJ/°C. Using the information below, determine the final temperature of the calorimeter if the initial temperature is 25.0°C. The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol. delta H rxn = -1235 C2H5OH + 3O2 -> 2CO2 +3H2O so far I converted CHOH to moles .2778 mol C2H5OH then converted to KJ .2778 mol x -1235 kJ / 1mol = 343.13 kJ I know q = m delta temp C So I have m = 12. 8 g Tf= ? Ti= 25 C = 5.65 kJ/ C I tried to set it up this way 343kJ = 12.8 g (25- Tf)(5.65 kJ/C) but I think I'm wrong.
