Hello my name is helen (: this website is really cool ! if its not so much trouble i need help on a problem that i dont understand D:
a o.1964g sample of quinone (C6H4O2) is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1.56 kj/°C. the temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.2°C. Calculate the energy of combustion of quinone per gram and per mole.
thanks this would help me a lot :D
The heat capacity C is given by the formula
C = heat absorbed / increase in temp
or heat absorbed in a bomb calorimeter= C X increase in temp
= 1.56 kj/°CX 3.2°C.(please do calculations your self)
now this is the heat given out by combustion of o.1964g sample of quinone
Heat given by one g = 1.56 kJ/°CX 3.2°C. X 1g /o.1964g
Calculate number of moles of quinine in o.1964g sample
= mass / molar mass
heat liberated per mole = number of moles X 1.56 kj/°CX 3.2°C.
