Complete combustion of a 0.350 g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 14.0 kj of heat. the bomb calorimeter has a mass of 1.20 kg and a specific heat of 3.55 j/(gi°c). if the initial temperature of the calorimeter is 22.5°c, what is its final temperature?

The final temperature of the calorimeter is 25.8 °C

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Q = MC(T₂ – T₁)

14000 = 1200 × 3.55(T₂ – 22.5)

14000 = 4260(T₂ – 22.5)

Clear bracket

14000 = 4260T₂ – 95850

Collect like terms

14000 + 95850 = 4260T₂

109850 = 4260T₂

Divide both side by 4260

T₂ = 109850 / 4260

T₂ = 25.8 °C
