Calculate the enthalpy of combustion for ethanol
using bond energies and compare it with the other
values.

Transcribed Image Text:Investigation 5.5.1
Calorimetry versus Enthalpies of
Formation
Ringer
In this activity, you will use enthalpies of formation to
determine the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction.
Then, you will use the enthalpy values obtained from
calorimetry experiments to calculate standard enthalpies
of formation. Finally, you will compare the results of the
two calculations.
The calorimetry data is from an experiment involving
a bomb calorimeter. During the experiment, the thermal
energy released by the substance in the calorimeter is
transferred directly to the calorimeter rather than to water.
The quantity of energy transferred is determined using
9bomb Cbomb X AT
where Chomb is the heat capacity of the calorimeter in J/°C.
