A 1.500-g sample of gasoline was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 13.20 KJ/oC. The temperature of the calorimeter increased from 23.00oC to 27.50oC. (a) What is the experimental heat of combustion of kerosene? (b) If the true value of heat of combustion of kerosene is 43.00 KJ/g what is the percent error?
Percent error=7.6%
