Constant-volume calorimeters are sometimes calibrated by running a combustion reaction of known and measuring the change in temperature. For example, the combustion energy of glucose is 15.57 kJ/g. When a 4.4236-g sample of glucose burns in a constant- volume calorimeter, the calorimeter temperature increases from 10.33ºC to 25.89°C. Find the total heat capacity of the calorimeter.
