Correct answer: 2500
- Heat absorbed by the calorimeter
In a bomb calorimeter, the heat released by combustion at constant volume is absorbed by the calorimeter:
Given:
So,
Thus, the combustion of the given sample of octane releases 25 kJ of heat.
- Moles of }n\text{-octane burned}
Octane is .
Molar mass:
Given mass:
Number of moles:
- Heat of combustion per mole
If mol releases kJ, then mol releases:
Since the question asks for the magnitude, we report:
(Actual heat of combustion would be negative, but magnitude is positive.)
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = 2500
Our derived answer = 2500
So they agree.
