A 2.74 g sample of methanol, CH3OH, is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 10.1°C. If the heat capacity of the bomb is 727.1 J/°C and it contains 1200 kg of water, what is the heat evolved in kJ/mol of methanol combusted? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C and the molar mass of methanol is 32.04 g/mol. Show your answer in TWO (2) decimal places.
When 6.54 grams of Zn is placed in 500.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4(aq) in a coffee cup calorimeter, it reacts completely to displace copper. The temperature of the solution rises from 20.0˚C to 30.4˚C. Assume the coffee cup itself gains no heat and that the solution has the same density (1.00 g/mL) and specific heat (4.184 J/g˚C) as pure water. (a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
