A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1400. g of water (see sketch at right). First, a 5.000 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 21.00 °C to 42.00 °C over a time of 8.5 minutes. Next, 5.190 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 21.00 °C to 63.35 °C. Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment. exothermic C₂H₂(g) + 30₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) Be sure
