A 03423 G Sample of Pentane, C₅H₁₂, Was Burned in a a Bomb

Short Answer

A 0.3423 g sample of pentane, C₅H₁₂, was burned in a bomb calorimeter.The temperature of the calorimeter and the 1.000 kg of water contained therein rose from 20.22°C to 22.82°C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.21 kJ/°C.The heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g·°C.How much heat was given off during combustion of the sample of pentane?
