Problem: The heat liberated by the combustion of glutaric acid, H2C5H6O4, is 2154 kJ/mol. A 1.50 g sample of glutaric acid is burned in excess O2 in a calorimeter that contains 1250 g of water. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increases from 20.00oC to 23.69oC.
Required:
Question: What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter (J/oC)? Be detailed in your response and provide examples also.
