Question

Using the above data, the experimental molar enthalpy of combustion of sucrose is calculated to be:

Select one:
-6.2 MJ/mol
-4.4 MJ/mol
-2.1 MJ/mol
 -2.2 MJ/mol
A student designed the following calorimeter to determine the enthalpy of combustion of a sugar cube.
Assume that the sugar cube is composed solely of sucrose (342 g/mol) and also assume that the heat
absorbed by the calorimeter is negligible. The following data were collected.
Initial mass of sugar cube 1.25 g
Final mass of sugar cube
Volume of water
0.65 g
200 mL
Initial temperature of water 21.5 °C
Final temperature of water 30.7 °C
smaller metal
can
glass rod
