Answer:
13.85 kJ/°C
-14.89 kJ/g
Explanation:
<em>At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound, compound A, is − 3039.0 kJ/mol. When 1.697 g of compound A (molar mass = 101.67 g/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its contents) rose by 3.661 °C. What is the heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of the calorimeter? </em>

The heat of combustion of A is − 3039.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 101.67 g/mol. The heat released by the combustion of 1.697g of A is:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.
Qcomb + Qcal = 0
Qcal = -Qcomb = -(-50.72 kJ) = 50.72 kJ
The heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter can be calculated using the following expression.
Qcal = C . ΔT
where,
ΔT is the change in the temperature
Qcal = C . ΔT
50.72 kJ = C . 3.661 °C
C = 13.85 kJ/°C
<em>Suppose a 3.767 g sample of a second compound, compound B, is combusted in the same calorimeter, and the temperature rises from 23.23°C to 27.28 ∘ C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of compound B?</em>
Qcomb = -Qcal = -C . ΔT = - (13.85 kJ/°C) . (27.28°C - 23.23°C) = -56.09 kJ
The heat of combustion per gram of B is:
