When a 0.740-g sample of trinitrotoluene (tnt), c7h5n2o6, is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 23.4 to 26.9 c the heat capacity of t he calorimeter is 534 j/c, and it contains 675 ml of water. how much heat was produced by the combusttion of the tnt sample?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         mass of sample (X) = 0.740 g,         =    

    =    

As,   Density =

              1.00 g/ml =

                  mass = 675 g

Hence, weight of water = 675 g and heat capacity is given as 534

Heat produced by combustion of TNT = Heat gained by the water

              =

                       Heat =

                                 =

                                 = 1704831 J

As 1 kJ = 1000 J. So, 1704831 J = 1704.831 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that heat produced by the combustion of the TNT sample is 1704.831 kJ.
