QUESTION (continued)

The heat capacity of a calorimeter of the type shown on the previous slide must be determined before other investigations, using the instrument, can be performed. When 0.500 0 grams of pure carbon are combusted in the “bomb” the temperature rose by 1.842°C, (Note: use –393.5 kJ/mol as the heat of combustion for carbon.) What is the calorimeter’s heat capacity?

1. 30.20 kJ/°C

2. 106.8 kJ/K

3. 8.901 kJ/°C

4. 35.60 kJ/°C
