A bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 30 J/C contains 1000 g of water with an initial temperature of 25°C. A 0.5 g sample of a candy bar is placed in a bomb calorimeter and ignited, resulting in a new water temperature of 30°C. What is ΔE for this reaction?

    21.05 kJ

    Explanation:

    The reaction gives out heat. We assume that no heat is lost to that environment except the calorimeter and water.

    heat of reaction = energy absorbed by the calorimeter + energy absorbed by

    the water

    ΔE = 30J/K x 5 K + 1000 g x 4.18 J/g-K * 5 K

    = 21 050 J

    = 21.05 kJ
