Question
In an experiment, a 1.3440 g sample of dimethyl oxalate (C4H6 O4) is burned completely in a bomb
calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.383 x 103 g of water. During the combustion the
temperature increases from 25.58 to 28.50 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J. g. C¹.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 989.5 J. "C¹.
Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of
dimethyl oxalate based on these data.
C4H6O4(s)+(7/2)O2(g) → 3H2O(l) + 4CO2(g) +Energy
Molar Heat of Combustion =
kJ/mol
