When .514 g of C12H10 undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 25.8oC...

  1. When .514 g of C12H10 undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 25.8oC to 29.4oC. The heat capacity of the bomb and all of its contents is 5.86 kJ/oC.
  1. What is the heat released per mole of C12H10?
  2. Is the number you calculated ΔE or ΔH? Why?
  3. Is ΔE = ΔH for this reaction? Why?

Balanced reaction: 2 C12H10 (s) + 29 O2 (g) → 24 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g)

  1. If ΔE and ΔH are not equal, which one is more negative? Why?

Answer #1

A.

qv = 5.86 KJ/0C * 3.6 0C * 154 g/mol / 0.514 g

qv= - 6320.591 KJ/mol (heat of combustion always have a negative sign )

b. has been calculated as in combuustion bond dissociates so bond energy i.e., enthalpy of formation of bond is calculated.

c. because in the experiment = 0.
