Chapter 9, Problem 9.14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter needs to be determined in kJ/^o C.

Concept introduction:

The amount of heat required for a solution to change the temperature and specific heat capacity is related to each other as follows:

$q=ms\Delta T$

Here, $q$ is amount of heat, m is mass, s is specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ is change in temperature.
