Question

You are required to determine the specific heat capacity of colostrum. You used a constant
volume calorimeter with a heat capacity of 758 J/K and the combustion of acetylene (C2H2) to do
the experiment:
2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) ---- ∆rH = -2610kJ
The calorimeter is filled with 1.190L of colostrum (instead of water). The density of colostrum is
1.034 g/ cm3
. When 4.413 g of acetylene is burned in excess oxygen in the bomb of the
calorimeter, the temperature of colostrum and the bomb increased from 22.5oC to 61.9oC. Show
all the steps you would follow to calculate the specific heat capacity of colostrum
