The molar heat of combustion of naphthalene (mol wt = 128.17 g/mol) is -1128.2 Kcal/gmol. If 0.300 g of naphthalene burned in a calorimeter causes a rise in temperature of 2.050°C, what is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter (cal/oC) ? It 1.520 g of an organic compound is burned in the above calorimeter cause the temperature to rise 1.845°C, what is the heat of combustion of the organic compound in calories per gram?
