Naphthalene Combustion Can Be Used to Calibrate the Heat Capacity $\circ$

question 56

Multiple Choice

Naphthalene combustion can be used to calibrate the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter. The heat of combustion of naphthalene is -40.1 kJ/g. When 0.8210 g of naphthalene was burned in a calorimeter containing 1,000. g of water, a temperature rise of 4.21 ^$\circ$ C was observed. What is the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter excluding the water

• A) 1.76 kJ/^\(\circ\)C
• B) 3.64 kJ/^\(\circ\)C
• C) 7.8 kJ/^\(\circ\)C
• D) 15.3 kJ/^\(\circ\)C
• E) 32.9 kJ/^\(\circ\)C
