Mothballs are composed primarily of the hydrocarbon naphthalene (C10H8). When 1.025g of naphthalene burns in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 24.25∘C to 32.33∘C.
Find ΔrU for the combustion of naphthalene. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, determined in separate experiment, is 5.11kJ∘C−1.
