Constant volume calorimeters are usually calibrated using the combustion of benzoic acid, C6H5COOH(s). A couple of years ago in chem 327, a group of students calibrated the calorimeter in our lab using 1.0308 g of benzoic acid and, after combustion in the 'bomb', found a calorimeter temperature increase of 2.71 degrees. What is the calorimeter constant for this apparatus?
