Salicylic acid, C7H6O3?

Question

Salicylic acid, C7H6O3, has been suggested as a calorimetric standard. Its heat of combustion is -3.023 103 kJ/mol C7H6O3. From the following data determine the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter assembly (that is, the bomb, water, stirrer, thermometer, wires, and so forth).


mass of salicylic acid burned: 1.111 g
initial calorimeter temperature: 23.07°C
final calorimeter temperature: 29.55°C

Answer 1

Something is missing, like the pooled mass of the calorimeter assembly.
