Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a mass of 1.30 kg and a specific heat of 3.41 J/(gi°C). If the initial temperature of the calorimeter is 25.5°C, what is its final temperature?

The final temperature, t₂ = 30.9 °C

Given

24.0 kJ of heat = 24,000 J

Mass of calorimeter = 1.3 kg = 1300 g

Cs = 3.41 J/g°C

t₁= 25.5 °C

Required

The final temperature, t₂

Solution

Q = m.Cs.Δt

Q out (combustion of compound) = Q in (calorimeter)

24,000 = 1300 x 3.41 x (t₂-25.5)

t₂ = 30.9 °C

explanation:

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.
