Question
A bomb calorimeter can be used to measure the enthalpy of reaction for combustions, such as the combustion of diborane represented by the following balanced equation:
B2H6(g)+3O2(g)B2O3(s)+3H2O(g)
ΔHcombustion for this process is –1958 kJ/mol
Assume that 0.251 g of diborane is combusted in a calorimeter whose heat capacity (Ccalorimeter) is 7.854 kJ/°C at 16.31°C. What is the final temperature of the calorimeter?
