How do you calculate the energy absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (qcal)

Transcribed Image Text:Heat of Combustion: Chicken Fat
Name
1. Fill the Data Table with your measurements and calculated values
Data Table
chicken fat in a bomb calorimeter
mass of sample (g)
0.9975
moles of chicken fat in the sample
(MW jat = 797.24 g/mol)
initial temperature (°C)
1.25 x 103
25.006
final temperature (°C)
28.615
AT (°C)
3. 609
Calculations in the table

797.24 g/mol
1. 25 x 10 3
2. The solid chicken fat has the formula C51H88O6. Write the equation for the
combustion reaction of one mole of C51H88O6 solid in excess oxygen gas, products
are carbon dioxide gas and liquid water.(include phases)
C51 H 86 O6 (s) + Ocg) -7 CO2cg)
+ H2oce)
3. Calculate the energy absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (qcal) in this experiment. This
bomb calorimeter has a heat Capacity = 10.310 kJ/K.
3. cOC+ 273.15
E = MCAT
10.310 k3
376.76K
4. Calculate the heat of reaction per mole of chicken fat.
C x AT
O.9975 • 10.310 3.609
