A 1.250 g sample of octane (C(8)H(18)) ...

A `1.250 g` sample of octane `(C_(8)H_(18))` is burned in excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of calorimeter rises from `294.05 K` to `300.78 K`. If heat capacity of the calorimeter is `8.93 kJ K^(-1)`, find the heat transferred to calorimeter.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Heat transferred = `60.1 kJ, Delta_(c) H = 5481.1 kJ mol^(-1)`.

In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of a gas with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0 K . The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0 K to 298.45 K due to the combustion process. Given that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.5 kJ K^(-1) , find the numerical value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas in kJ mol^(-1)
