Answer to Question #334660 in General Chemistry for roman

Question

If a bomb calorimeter is loaded with 0.0125 moles of napthalene and the ΔT during the combustion process is 4.25 K, what is the ΔH_comb (in kJ/mol) assuming the calorimeter constant (C_system) is 10.310 kJ/K?

Answer 1

ΔH_comb = -ΔT*C_system/moles = -4.25*10.310/0.0125 = -3505.4 kJ/mol
