Under constant-volume conditions the heat of combustion of benzoic acid A 1.640-g sample of benzoic acid is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 22.25 °C to 27.20 °C. (a) What is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter? (b) A 1.320-g sample of a new organic substance is combusted in the same calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 22.14 °C to 26.82 °C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of the new substance? (c) Suppose that in changing samples, a portion of the water in the calorimeter were lost. In what way, if any, would this change the heat capacity of the calorimeter?
