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 0.578 g sample of nonanedioic acid ( C9H1604) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1020 g of water. The temperature increases from 24.90°C to 27.80°C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g °C). The molar heat of combustion is -4774 kJ per mole of nonanedioic acid. C9H16 O4(s)+1102(g) → 9CO2 (g) + 8H2O(l) + Energy

Question
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 0.578 g sample of nonanedioic acid (
C9H1604) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1020 g of water. The temperature increases from 24.90°C to 27.80°C. The heat
capacity of water is
4.184 J/(g °C).
The molar heat of combustion is -4774 kJ per mole of nonanedioic acid.
C9H16 O4(s)+1102(g) → 9CO2 (g) + 8H2O(l) + Energy
