State the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter

Reference no: EM13503078

Naphthalene combustion can be used to calibrate the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter. The heat combustion of naphthalene is -40.1kJ/g. When 0.8210g of naphthalene was burned in a calorimeter containing 1,000g of water, a temperature rise of 4.21 degree celcius was observed. What is the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter excluding the water?
