Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (NaCH3COO).
carbon dioxide (CO), and water (H2O). A chemist carries out this reaction in a bomb calorimeter. The
reaction causes the temperature of a bomb calorimeter to decrease by 0.985 K. The calorimeter has a
mass of 1.500 kg and a specific heat of 2.52 J/g.K. What is the heat of reaction for this system?
1.372 kJ
