I took a test today...
If the problem asked me to find the heat capacity of the calorimeter, it was essentially a bomb calorimeter problem, right? (plus it said that the mass was burned so..)
So I would have to set up
qreaction = -(qwater + qcalorimeter)
they gave me the total heat reaction in kj/mol and the mass of the object (so if it was like .2 mol then just convert to .2 mol x (xxxkJ/1mol))
Right..??
this is one of those problems where i was either correct or incorrect.
