A
certain small piece of candy is made of 1.525 grams of sucrose (C12H22O11;
molar mass = 342.12 g). When placed in
a bomb calorimeter with a specific heat of 5.024 kJ/°C, how much should
the temperature rise when the candy undergoes combustion? (Note: use
–5 640 kJ/mol as the heat released for the combustion of one
mole of sucrose.)
1. 5.00°C
2. 126°C
3. 25.1°C
4. Couldn’t I just eat the candy, I
