A2.89 g sample of methanol, CH3OH, is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 11.5°C. If the heat capacity of the bomb is 727.1 J°C and it contains 1200 kg of water, what is the heat evolved in kJ/mol of methanol combusted? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 Jig°C and the molar mass of methanol is 32.04 g/mol.

heat evolved problem

A 2.89 g sample of methanol, CH3OH, is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 11.5°C. If the heat capacity of the bomb is 727.1 J/°C and it contains 1200 kg of water, what is the heat evolved in kJ/mol of
methanol combusted? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C and the molar mass of methanol is 32.04 g/mol.
