Explain what is the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter

Reference no: EM13671512

Naphthalene combustion can be utilized to calibrate the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter. The heat of combustion of naphthalene is-40.1 kJ/g. While 0.8210 g of naphthalene was burned in a calorimeter containing 1,000g of water a temperature rise of4.21°C was observed. Explain what is the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter excluding the water?
