In order to calibrate a constant volume bomb calorimeter, the combustion of (4.336x10^-1) g of benzoic acid, CóH5COOH, was observed to cause the temperature in the calorimeter to rise from 25.000 to (2.76178x10^1) °C. The energy of combustion of benzoic acid, A, is -3226.7 kJ mol-1. What is total heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter (including all its contents) in kJ °C-1?

Question
In order to calibrate a constant volume bomb calorimeter, the combustion of
(4.336x10^-1) g of benzoic acid, CóH5COOH, was observed to cause the
temperature in the calorimeter to rise from 25.000 to (2.76178x10^1) °C. The
energy of combustion of benzoic acid, A, is -3226.7 kJ mol-1. what is total heat
capacity (C) of the calorimeter (including all its contents) in kJ °C-1?
Pay attention to significant figures. If you wish to use scientific notation, use the "e"
format: e.g. 7.31e4 = 73100 or -1.90e-2 = -0.0190. Do not enter units.
Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
