At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound is –3019.0 kJ/mol. When 1.807 g of this compound (molar mass = 134.14 g/mol) was burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its contents) rose by 6.117 °C. What is the heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of the calorimeter?

Question

aaronq · Answer

q=m*C*dT

q is heat
m is mass
C is heat capacity
dT us the change in temp

aaronq · Answer

Find the heat that mass produced (convert mass to moles and multiply by the heat of combustion)
