Part A Find ΔErxn for the combustion of biphenyl. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.86 kJ/∘C. Express the energy in kilojoules per mole to three significant figures.

Question:

When 0.500 g of biphenyl (C₁₂H₁₀) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 26.8 °C to 29.5 °C. Part A Find ΔErxn for the combustion of biphenyl. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.86 kJ/∘C. Express the energy in kilojoules per mole to three significant figures.

Answer;

-4870kJ/mol(3 significant figure)
