Problem- 2.00 g of benzoic acid are burned in a bomb calorimeter, and the temperature increases from 17.84oC to 23.34oC.
(a) What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter? (note: I got 24.8 kJ/K. Is this right?)
(b) Following the experiment, you realize that for determining the heat capacity of the calorimeter, 1.000 L of water was used whereas 2.000 L should have been used. In order to aviod having to redo the experiment, calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter containing 2.000 L of water.
Write solution with complete explanation of required steps
