Step 1
1 of 814.52 kJ/g of heat is released when acetic acid undergoes combustion. Meanwhile, burning 15.00 g of acetic acid (heat capacity = 2.166 kJ/C) causes the final temperature of the calorimeter and the 0.800 kg of water in a bomb calorimeter to be 64.14C.
The goal of this exercise is to determine the initial temperature of the calorimeter.
