The temperature of a calorimeter increas...

The temperature of a calorimeter increases `0.10 K` when `7.52 J` of electric energy is used to heat it. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dividing the amount of energy by the temperature increase yields the heat capacity, C,
`C=7.52//0.10=75.2" J//K"`.

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)
