Question
The heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter was determined by burning6.79 g of methane (energy of combustion= -802 kJ/mol CH4) in thebomb. The temperature changed by 10.8 degrees celsius. a) What is the heat capacity of the bomb? b) A 12.6 g sample of acetylene, C2H2, produced a temperatureincrease of 16.9 degrees celsius in the same calorimeter. What is the energy of combustion of acetylene (inkJ/mol)?show all steps please! a) What is the heat capacity of the bomb? b) A 12.6 g sample of acetylene, C2H2, produced a temperatureincrease of 16.9 degrees celsius in the same calorimeter.

Explanation / Answer
We Know that : According to Thermodynamic Relationship: Q = m s t CH4 + 2 O2 -----> CO2 + 2 H2 O + Energy 802000 J = 6.79 gm x s x 10.80C s = 10936.5624 J / gm 0C The heat capacity of theCalorimeter is 10936.5624 J / gm0C Acetylene onCombustion produces the products as CO2 & H2O C2H2 + 5 / 2 O2 ------> 2CO2 + H2O Q = 12.6 gm / 26 gm / mole x 10936.5624 J/ 0C x 16.9 0C = 89570.446056 J / mole = 89.57044 KJ / mole of Energy isReleasesd. Acetylene onCombustion produces the products as CO2 & H2O C2H2 + 5 / 2 O2 ------> 2CO2 + H2O Q = 12.6 gm / 26 gm / mole x 10936.5624 J/ 0C x 16.9 0C = 89570.446056 J / mole = 89.57044 KJ / mole of Energy isReleasesd.Related Questions
