A chemist burned a sample of coal in a bomb calorimeter. Her results are below.
Calorimeter's Heat Capacity
7.264 kJ/°C
Mass of Coal
Initial Temperature
Final Temperature
0.100 g
22.07°C
25.37°C
The sample of coal that the chemist placed in the bomb was dry but when she
finished the test there was a small amount of water in the bomb. Where did this
water come from and how does it affect her result?
The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for a
closed system.
The water was a product of combustion so her measured heat of combustion is for an open system.
The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for an
open system.

- Does it seem logical that the burning of fossil fuels and the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere leads to the warming of the Earth? Why or why not?arrow_forwardSuppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for cooking. You need to boil 18.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove. What volume of natural gas is needed to boil the water if only 10.1% of the heat generated goes towards heating the water. Assume the density of methane is 0.668 g/L, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and that the water has an initial temperature of 21.4 °C. Enthalpy of formation values can be found in this table. Assume that gaseous water is formed in the combustion of methane.arrow_forward1. A 2.15-gram cashew nut is burned. The heat released raises the temperature of a 100.0-gram sample of water from 18.2°C to 31.5°C. The mass of the nut after the experiment is 1.78 grams. Determine the calorie content of the nut in Calories/gram. Assume that the water is only able to absorb 25% of the heat released by the burning nut. Given 1.00 Calorie=4.18 kJ. This is another question 2. A large paraffin candle has a mass of 96.83 gram. A metal cup with 100.0 mL of water at 16.2°C absorbs the heat from the burning candle and increases its temperature to 35.7°C. Once the burning is ceased, the temperature of the water was 35.7°C and the paraffin had a mass of 96.14 gram. Determine the heat of combustion of paraffin in kJ/gram. GIVEN: density of water = 1.0 g/mL.arrow_forward
