A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter
containing 1400. g of water (see sketch at right).

First, a 5.000 g tablet of benzoic acid (C6H5CO₂H) is put into the "bomb" and
burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of
combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from
13.00 °C to 32.28 °C over a time of 10.7 minutes.

Next, 4.900 g of ethane (C₂H6) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely
burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from
13.00 °C to 44.56 °C.
Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data
resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction:
-
stirrer
Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?

chemical reaction
"bomb"
A "bomb" calorimeter.
If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was
released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.
2C₂H,(g) + 70₂(g) 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)
Be sure any of your answers that are calculated from measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do these experiments sufficiently carefully, and the values you
calculate may not exactly match published values for this reaction.
