Bomb calorimetry
« on: October 21, 2007, 09:38:21 AM »
Consider the reaction

C12H22O11 (s) + 12O2 (g) -----> 12CO2 (g) + 11H2O (l)

in which 10.0 f of sucrose, C12H22O11, was burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 7.70 kj/C. the temperature increase was found to be 22.0 C. calculate the change in internal energy delta E, for this reaction per mole of sucrose. express your answer numerically in kilojoules per mole.


please help me with this questions thank you.  :)

Please read the Forum Rules.  You should that show you've at least attempted to answer the problem before we will help you.

Here's a hint though.  You'll need to use the equation q = mCΔT.  If you don't know how to use this equation it may be useful to review the section in your chemistry textbook that discusses this equation.
