You are required to determine the specific heat capacity of colostrum. You used a constant volume calorimeter with a heat capacity of 758 J/K and the combustion of acetylene (C,H2) to do the experiment: 2C2H2(e) + 502(e) → 4CO216) + 2H2O(e) - A;H = -2610kJ ---- The calorimeter is filled with 1.190L of colostrum (instead of water). The density of colostrum is 1.034 g/ cm³. When 4.413 g of acetylene is burned in excess oxygen in the bomb of the calorimeter, the temperature of colostrum and the bomb increased from 22.5°C to 61.9°C. Show all the steps you would follow to calculate the specific heat capacity of colostrum.

Question
You are required to determine the specific heat capacity of colostrum. You used a constant
volume calorimeter with a heat capacity of 758 J/K and the combustion of acetylene (C,H2) to do
the experiment:
2C2H2(e) + 502(e) → 4CO216) + 2H2O(e)
- A;H = -2610kJ
----
The calorimeter is filled with 1.190L of colostrum (instead of water). The density of colostrum is
1.034 g/ cm³. When 4.413 g of acetylene is burned in excess oxygen in the bomb of the
calorimeter, the temperature of colostrum and the bomb increased from 22.5°C to 61.9°C. Show
all the steps you would follow to calculate the specific heat capacity of colostrum.
