You just received a new bomb calorimeter. The factory calibration states that the heat capacity of the calorimeter itself is 50 J/K (Ccal = 50 J/K).
You just received a new bomb calorimeter.The factory calibration states that the heatcapacity of the calorimeter itself is 50 J/K(Ccal = 50 J/K). You decide to check for yourself what Ccalis; you fill the calorimeter with2 L of water, and detonate 1 g of sugar whichyou know releases 4000 calories of heat. Youthen measure a temperature change of 1.9881K. What value of Ccal do you calculate foryour new calorimeter and is this value within5 J/K of the factory value? The specific heatcapacity of water is 1 calorie · g−1· K−1, thedensity of water is 1 g · mL−1, and 1 calorie =4.184 J.
