Question
A pellet of benzoic acid standard was combusted in a bomb calorimeter to determine the experimental calorimeter
constant. After 6 mins of monitoring the temperature, the bomb was fired. The following data were obtained.
mole of benzoic acid: 0.0049 mol
mass of burnt fuse wire: 0.0112 g
9wire surr: 5858 J/g
AHcombustion of benzoic acid: -3228.0 kJ/mol
Ang (combustion of benzoic acid): -0.5 mol
R: 8.314 J/mol-K
r7: 0°C/min
r2: 0°C/min
Tf: 30.4°C
T: 28.4°C
Determine the calorimeter constant (in J/°C). Report your answer in 2 decimal places.
