Calorimeter's Heat Capacity 7.264 kJ/°C Mass of Coal Initial Temperature Final Temperature 0.100 g 22.07°C 25.37°C The sample of coal that the chemist placed in the bomb was dry but when she finished the test there was a small amount of water in the bomb. Where did this water come from and how does it affect her result? The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for a closed system. The water was a product of combustion so her measured heat of combustion is for an open system.
