Question: 1 g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter?
Answer: 1g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298K and 1atm pressure according to the equation C+O2=CO2 during the reaction temperature rises from 298k to 299K. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 20.7Kj/mole What is the enthalpy change for the above reaction.
