Find ΔErxn for the combustion of biphenyl. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.86 kJ/∘C. Express the energy in kilojoules per mole to three significant figures. View Available Hint(s)

ΔErxn = -6212.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

When 0.538 g of biphenyl (C₁₂H₁₀) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 26.1 ⁰C to 29.8 ⁰C.

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.
