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.

Answer

`60.1 kJ`

Explanation

`DeltaT = 300.78 - 294.05 = 6.73^(@)`
`q = C_(v) xx DeltaT`
` = 8.93 xx 6.73 kJ = 60.1 kJ`
Heat transferred to calorimeter = 60.1 kJ.
