A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1200. g of water (see sketch at right).

The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 18.00 °C to 51.74 °C over a time of 14.9 minutes.

Question

First, a 7.500 g tablet of benzoic acid (CH₂CO₂H) is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 18.00 °C to 51.74 °C over a time of 14.9 minutes. Next, 4.510 g of ethane (C₂H₂) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 18.00 °C to 53.35 °C. Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.
