Question:

A sample of ethanol, C2H5OH, weighing 2.84 g was burned in an excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00oC to 33.73oC. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and contents was 9.63 kJ/oC, what is the value of q for burning 1 mol of ethanol at constant volume and 25.00oC? The reaction is
C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)
