A1.800-g sample of solid phenol (c6h5oh(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter, which has a total heat capacity of 11.66 kj/∘c. the temperature of the calorimeter plus its contents increased from 21.36∘c to 26.37∘c.
(a)-write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that takes place in the bomb calorimeter. express you answer as a chemical equation including phases. water vapor, h2o(g), will initially form as part of this reaction. however, the temperature of all substances will eventually equilibrate in the bomb calorimeter (to 26.37∘c), which signifies that water and carbon dioxide, h2o(l) and co2(g), are the eventual products of a combustion reaction in a bomb calorimeter.
(b)- what is the heat of combustion per gram of phenol?
