While 0.850 g of Mg is burned in oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, 25.4 kJ of energy as heat is evolved. The calorimeter is in an insulated container with 750 g of water at an initial temperature of 18.6 degrees Celsius.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 820 J/k
a) Compute the U for the oxidation of Mg (in kJ/mol Mg)
b) Explain what will be the final temperature of the water and the bomb calorimeter in this experiment?
