The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6 H5 COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calorimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be −3226.7 kJ/mol. When 1.9862 g of benzoic acid are burned in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from 21.84°C to 25.67°C. What is the heat capacity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly 2000 g.)

The Bunsen burner in your labs are fueled by natural gas, which is mostly methane, CH4. The
thermochemical equations for the combustion of methane (burning in oxygen) is:
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) ➔ CO2(g) + 2 H2O (g) ΔH = – 890.3 kJ/mole
Calculate ΔH in kJ when 5.00 g CH4 react with an excess oxygen.

They both have their advocates and detractors. On one of the flyers (printedon paper) they said:Plastic bag does not emit toxic fumes when properly incinerated. When burned in waste-to energy plants, the resulting by-products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The bag is inert in landfills, when it does not contribute to leaching, bacterial or explosive gas problems. The bag photo-degrades in sunlight to the point that normal environmental factors of wind and rain will cause it to break into very small pieces.
