Question
A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1100. g of water (see sketch at
right).
First, a 7.500 g tablet of benzoic acid (CH-CO₂H) is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of
oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is
observed to rise from 24.00 °C to 65.95 °C over a time of 6.6 minutes.
Next, 5.060 g of ethylene (C₂H4) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen.
This time the temperature of the water rises from 24.00 °C to 77.48 °C.
Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions

Be sure any of your answers that are calculated from measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do these experiments sufficiently carefully, and the values you calculate may not exactly match
published values for this reaction.
