Answer to Question #298405 in General Chemistry for Mae

Question

Acetylene, C2H2, is a gas used in welding. The heat evolved for the combustion of acetylene is –33.79 kJ. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 5.54 kJ/0C, what is the temperature increase of the bomb calorimeter?

Answer 1

$Q= m× c× dT$

m= 26

-33790= 26× 5.54× dT

dT= 234.6°C
