Benzoic acid is used to determine the heat capacity of bomb calorimeters because it can be obtained in pure form, and its energy of combustion is known very accurately (26.43 kJ/g). Determine the heat capacity of a calorimeter (J/°C) that had a temperature increase of 8.199°C when 2.500 g of benzoic acid was used. 541.7 J/°C 8.059 J/°C 8059 J/°C 86.68 J/°C

4. 30.0 g of a substance (molar mass: 46 g/mo) required 262 J of heat to raise its temperature from 32.0°C to 37.4°C. What is the specific heat per gram and per mole of this substance?
A student conducted several calorimetry investigations. In the first of the investigations, the student heats a 21.0 g price of metal that is know to have a specific heat capacity of 0.449 J/g°C to a temperature of 80°C. Then a piece of metal is added to the beaker of water (70.0 grams at 20.00°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4.187 J/g°C. If the student repeated the investigation with 50.0 g of water instead what would be different.
