Chapter 9, Problem 9.32P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The combustion energy in units of kJ/g needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The combustion energy can be calculated as follows:

$\Delta H_C^o=\frac{s_{calorimeter}\Delta T}{m}$

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