Question
![A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy
available from foods.
Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as
calibrating the calorimeter.
In the laboratory a student burns a 0.508-g sample of benzil (C14H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g water. The temperature
increases from 24.70 °C to 27.80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°C1.
The combustion enthalpy is -6784 k]/mol benzil.
