In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction. Since the cup itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter and the value determined is called the calorimeter constant. One way to do this is to use a common metal of known heat capacity. In the laboratory a student heats 93.58 grams of nickel to 99.47 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 82.02 grams of water at 21.76 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 30.12 °C. Using the accepted value for the specific heat of nickel (See the References tool), calculate the calorimeter constant. Calorimeter Constant = J/°C.

4 Having just invented a new type of calorimeter, Dr. Campbell needs to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. She carries out the following experiment to do this: She puts 20.0 grams of water in her empty calorimeter and it is allowed to stabilize at a temperature of 25.0ºC. She then adds 32.035 grams of water at a temperature of 83.2ºC to the calorimeter. After a few minutes the final temperature of the calorimeter stabilizes at 41.6ºC. Based on this experiment, what is the heat capacity of her calorimeter assuming units of J/ºC? Enter your answer with at least 3 sig figs.

Let's use our knowledge of constant volume (bomb) calorimetry to determine the heat energy in a given food sample, say a hamburger. A typical hamburger has a serving size of 105 g and consists of approximately 20% protein (21.0 g), 33% fat (34.7 g), and 47% carbohydrate (49.3 g). Assume that the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 8.39 kJ K-¹, and the increase in water temperature was 13.2 K. Q5.38 Homework Unanswered How many Calories (Cal) are in the hamburger described above? Respond with the correct number of significant figures in scientific notation (Use E notation and only 1 digit before decimal e.g. 2.5E5 for 2.5 x 105) Type your numeric answer and submit Unanswered • 4 attempts left Submit
A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.508-g sample of benzil (C14H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°C1. The combustion enthalpy is -6784 k]/mol benzil. C14H1002(s) + 31/2 02(g) →14 CO2(g) + 5 H20(I) A,H° = -6784 kJ/mol %3D Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/C
