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 0.4987 g sample of 2-naphthylacetic acid (C12H1002) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.203x103 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 23.43 to 25.91 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-loc-1. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 896.5 J/°C. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of 2-naphthylacetic acid based on these data. C12H1002(s) + (27/2) 02(9) – 5 H20(1) + 12 CO2(g) + Energy Molar Heat of Combustion = kJ/mol

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 0.4987 g sample of 2-naphthylacetic acid (C12H1002) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.203x103 g of
water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 23.43 to 25.91 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°c-1.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 896.5 J/°C.
Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of 2-naphthylacetic acid based on these data.
C12H1002(s) + (27/2) 02(g)
5 H20(1) + 12 CO2(g) + Energy
Molar Heat of Combustion =
kJ/mol
