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 1.0220 g sample of β-D-fructose (C6H12O6) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.186×103 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 26.62 to 29.46 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-1°C-1.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 906.4 J/°C.
Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of β-D-fructose based on these data.
