The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calori meters: its value has been accurately determined to be –3226.7 kJ/mol. When 1.9862 g of benzoic acid are burned in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from 21.84°C to 25.67°C. What is the heat capacity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly 2000 g.)
