Extracted text: A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.354-g sample of diphenylacetylene (C14H10) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1040. g of water. The temperature increases from 25.10 °C to 27.90 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g`I°C•!. The molar heat of combustion is –7251 kJ per mole of diphenylacetylene. C14H10(s) + 33/2 02(g) →14 CO,(g) + 5 H,0(1) + Energy Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/°C
