A constant volume calorimeter (bomb calorimeter) was calibrated by performing in it a reaction in which 5.23 kJ of heat energy was released, causing the calorimeter to rise by 7.33 °C. What is the heat capacity C of the calorimeter?

Explanation:

Relation between heat energy and specific heat is as follows.

or,            c =

where,     c = specific heat

            = heat energy

            = change in temperature

Putting the given values into the above formula we will calculate the specific heat as follows.

                c =

                   =

                   = 0.713

Thus, we can conclude that heat capacity C of the calorimeter is 0.713 .

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
