A 1.25g sample of octane (C18 H18) is burnt in excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 294.05 to 300.78K. If heat capacity of the calorimeter is 8.93 KJ/K. find the heat transferred to calorimeter. |

Answer» Mass of octane, M = 1.250g. = 0.00125. Heat capacity, c = 8.93 kJ/k Rise in temp, ΔT = 300.78 - 294.05 = 6.73K Heat transferred to calorimeter = m x c x ΔT = 0.00125 x 8.93 x 6.73 = 0.075 kJ. |
