When a sample of benzoic acid was burned in a bomb


The heat of combustion of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is -3226 kJ/mol at constant volume. When a sample of benzoic acid was burned in a bomb calorimeter having a calorimeter constant of 12.5 kJ/oC, the temperature of the calorimeter (including its contents) rose from 23.18oC to 27.65oC. What mass, in g, of benzoic acid was burned?

What i did, just unsure of my answer. (delta) T = 4.474

took 3226/122.13=26.41

4.474*12.5/26.41 = 2.12g Is this correct?
