Explain the calorimeter temperature increases

Reference no: EM13289814

A student performs a calorimeter calibration using an electric heater. When a voltage of 30 V is applied to the heater for 3.0 min, a constant current of 2.5 A is observed. The calorimeter temperature increases from 20.00C to 25.59C. Calculate C_bomb for the calorimeter. Assume 2000.0 g of water in the bucket.
