A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and th

e energy content of foods. In an experiment, a 0.9973 g sample of isophthalic acid (C8H6O4) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.319×103 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 25.37 to 28.49 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-1°C-1. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 939.3 J/°C. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of isophthalic acid based on these data.

Answer:

find heat released by the burn:  

(2 g) (19.4 kJ/g) = 38.8 kJ released  

find heat gained by the water:  

dH = m C dT  

dH = (2250 g) (4.184 J/g-C) (+ 3.17 C)  

dH = 29,842 Joules  

aka  

dH water = + 29.8 kJ  

find the missing heat given to the calorimeter  

(38.8 kJ released) - (29.8 kJ given to water) = 9.0 kJ given to calorimeter  

What is the heat capacity of the empty bomb calorimeter  

(9.0 kJ given to calorimeter) / (3.17 C rise in temp) = 2.84 kJ / C

How do you prepare diluted acid from concentrated acid?
lidiya [134]
A dilute acid solution is prepared by adding the concentrated acid to water. If you do the reverse, i.e. add water to the acid it is possible that a small amount water could react with acid and boil and explode thus splashing the acid onto you or someone else near the activity.

If an ultraviolet photon has a wavelength of 77.8 nm calculate the energy of one mole ultraviolet photon.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

E = (hc)/(λ)

E = (6.624x10^(-27))Js x ((3×10^8)ms^(-1)) /

(77.8x10^(-9)m)

E = 2.55 x 10^(-11) J

Calculate the new pressure if a 2300 mL of a gas at a pressure of 1.88 atm is allowed to contract to a volume of 2.21 L.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.958 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2300 mL (2300/1000 = 2.3 L)

Initial pressure = 1.88 atm

Final volume = (2.21 L + 2.3L) = 4.51 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution;

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.88 atm × 2.3 L =  P₂ × 4.51 L

V₂ = 1.88 atm × 2.3 L / 4.51 L

V₂ = 4.32 atm.L /  4.51 L

V₂ = 0.958 atm
