A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods.

Question
A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of
combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods.
In an experiment, a 0.6985 g sample of benzoic acid (C,H,O2) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter.
The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.129x103 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from
26.23 to 29.32 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 Jgl°c-!.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 981.2 J^C.
Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of benzoic acid
based on these data.
C;H,O2(s) + (15/2) O2(e) 3 H,O(1) + 7 CO,(g) + Energy
Molar Heat of Combustion =
kJ/mol
