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 0.491 g sample of 9,10-anthracenedione (C_14H_8O_2) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060 g of water. The temperature increases from 25.40°C to 28.30°C. The heat capacity of water is . 4.184 J/(g*C) The molar heat of combustion is −6464 kJ per mole of 9,10-anthracenedione. C_14H_8O_2(s) +150_2(g) ---> 14CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l) + Energy Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. Heat capacity =
