Question 5 of 26 Fill in the blanks: A substance having a mass 1.5 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature started at 20.2 °C and leveled off at 23.5 °C. The manufacturer of the bomb calorimeter determined the heat capacity of the calorimeter to be 15.3 kJ/°C. Calculate the heat of combustion per gram of the given substance. Type your answer in whole number. kJ/g Answer:
In an experiment, 26.5 g of metal was heated to 98.0°C and then quickly transferred to 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water was 22.5°C, and the final temperature after the addition of the metal was 32.5°C. Assume the calorimeter behaves ideally and does not absorb or release heat.
A certain chemical reaction releases 13.4/kJg of heat for each gram of reactant consumed. How can you calculate the heat produced by the consumption of 3.2kg of reactant? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
