Answer:
A 1.0 g sample of propane, C3H8, was burned in the calorimeter.
The temperature rose from 28.5 0C to 32.0 0C and the heat of combustion 10.5 kJ/g.
Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter apparatus in kJ/0C
Explanation:
[tex]Heat of combustion = heat capacity of calorimeter * deltaT\\[/tex]
Given,
The heat of combustion = 10.5kJ/g.
[tex]deltaT = (32.0-28.5)^oC\\deltaT = 3.5^oC[/tex]
Substitute these values in the above formula to get the value of heat capacity of the calorimeter.
[tex]deltaT =heat capacity of calorimeter * (change in temperature)\\10.5kJ/g = heat capacity of calorimeter * (3.5^oC)\\\\=>heat capacity of calorimeter = \frac{10.5kJ/g}{3.5^oC} \\=>heat capacity of calorimeter = 3.0 kJ/g.^oC[/tex]
Answer:
The heat capacity of the calorimeter is [tex]3.0kJ/g.^oC.[/tex]
