A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.981-g sample of L-ascorbic acid (CgHgO6) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g of water. The temperature increases from 24.80 °C to 27.30 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 Jgl-c•!. The molar heat of combustion is -2340. kJ per mole of L-ascorbic acid.

A certain chemical reaction releases 368.kJ of heat energy per mole of reactant consumed. Suppose some moles of the reactant are put into a calorimeter (a device for measuring heat flow). It takes 4.09J of heat energy to raise the temperature of this calorimeter by 1°C. Now the reaction is run until all the reactant is gone, and the temperature of the calorimeter is found to rise by 14.6°C. How would you calculate the number of moles of reactant that were consumed? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
In the following experiment, a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 100 g of H20 is used. The initial temperature of the calorimeter is 23.0 °C. If 4 g of CaClzis added to the calorimeter, what will be the final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter? Assume that the heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J/g°C, and that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible. The heat of dissolution AHsolin of CaCl2 is -82.8 kJ/mol. Enter your answer numerically in terms of °C.
When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 0.90 g of CaCl2(s) are dissolved in 102.10 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 22.90 to 24.48 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.79 J/°C.Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CaCl2(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water.ΔHdissolution = kJ/mol
