Question

Transcribed Image Text:A bomb calorimeter, or constant
volume calorimeter, is a device
often used to determine the heat
of combustion of fuels and the
energy content of foods.
Since the "bomb" itself can

absorb energy, a separate
experiment is needed to
determine the heat capacity of the
calorimeter. This is known as
Stirrer
calibrating the calorimeter.
In the laboratory a student burns a
1.13-g sample of dimethyl
oxalate (C,H,04) in a bomb
calorimeter containing 1070. g of
water. The temperature increases
from 24.00 °C to 27.00 °C. The

The molar heat of combustion is
-1675 kJ per mole of dimethyl
oxalate.

In a subsequent experiment, 100.0 mL of .200 M KOH (aq) were mixed in the same calorimeter and the temperature rose by 2.49 degrees celsius. What is the change in internal energy of the reaction mixture as a result of neutralization reaction?arrow_forward
