A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. In an experiment, a 0.3215 g sample of phenanthrene (C1,H10) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.162x10' g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 25.15 to 27.48 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°c-!. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 769.3 J°C. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of phenanthrene based on these data. C4H10(s) + (33/2) O2(g) – 5 H,O(1) + 14 CO,(g) + Energy Molar Heat of Combustion kJ/mol
