A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from 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 0.508-g sample of benzil (C14H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°C1. The combustion enthalpy is -6784 k]/mol benzil. C14H1002(s) + 31/2 02(g) →14 CO2(g) + 5 H20(I) A,H° = -6784 kJ/mol %3D Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/C
