A sample of solid biphenyl weighing 0.5260 g was ignited in a bomb
calorimeter initially at 25 °C, producing a temperature rise of 1.910 K.
Assuming a constant volume, calculate the AH of combustion of
biphenyl.
To properly determine the standard enthalpy of combustion for the
solid biphenyl, the calorimeter was first calibrated.
A 0.7750 g sample of benzoic acid (C6H3COOH, MW 122.1 g/mol))
was ignited under identical conditions and produced a temperature
rise of 1.940 K. For benzoic acid, the internal energy combustion at
constant volume, AU, is known to be -3226 kJ/mol. Calculate the
calorimeter constant, in kJ/K.
