Under constant-volume conditions, the heat of combustion of benzoic acid is 26.38 KJ/g. A 2.760-g sample of benzoic acid is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 21.60 to 29.93 C. What is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter? Suppose that in changing samples, a portion of the water in the calorimeter were lost, in what way, if any, would this change the heat capacity of the calorimeter?
