At constant volume, the heat capacity of the combustion of a particular compound is -3598.0 kj/mol. When 1.683g of this compound (molar mass = 198.85 g/mol) was buried in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its contents) rose by 4.579 C. What is the heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of the calorimeter.
-
Heat capacity = heat needed to raise temp by 1 degree, I think.
4.579 degrees from 3598 x 1.683/198.85 kJ so kJ/degree = 6.650 kJ/deg
