Answer to Question #160258 in Organic Chemistry for mariam

Question

1. In this investigation, you assumed that the heat capacity of your calorimeter was 0 J/°C. Using the accepted value for the heat of this reaction,  ΔH,  and the equation below, find the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
   

–Qreaction = (msolution • csolution • ΔT) + (Ccalorimeter • ΔT)

Answer 1

$Ccalorimeter = \Delta Sreaction - msolution*csolution$
