A 0.709 g sample of vanillin (C8H8O3, MM = 152.15) is combusted in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5.97 kJ/ºC. Given that the heat of combustion of vanillin is -3.83x103 kJ/mol, what must the temperature change have been in the bomb calorimeter?
Solution:
Heat of combustion (q) per mol of bomb calorimeter is calculated as:
q = - C ΔT / n
Where,
n = number of moles
C = heat capacity
ΔT = change in temperature
Number of moles of vanilin (n) = mass / molar mass
n = 0.709 g / 152.15 g mol-1 = 0.00466 mol
C = 5.97 kj / °C (given)
q = -3.83 x 10^3 KJ /mol = -3830 KJ/mol
Then,
q = - C ΔT / n
ΔT = - q x n / - C = - 3830 KJ mol-1 x 0.00466 mol / - 5.97 KJ/°C
= 2.99 °C
Hence, temperature change = 2.99 °C
