When 0.424 moles of an unknown hydrocarbon (∆Hc = -8.21 kJ/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter (C = 1.12 kJ/°C), the change in the temperature is 3.10 °C.
The heat of combustion (∆Hc) for an unknown hydrocarbon is -8.21 kJ/mol. The heat released by the combustion of 0.424 moles of the hydrocarbon is:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion (Qc) and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (Qb) is zero.
Given the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter (Qb) and the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter (C), we can calculate the temperature change (ΔT) using the following expression.
When 0.424 moles of an unknown hydrocarbon (∆Hc = -8.21 kJ/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter (C = 1.12 kJ/°C), the change in the temperature is 3.10 °C.
