    Heat of Combustion

    Objectives:

    o To calculate heat capacity of the calorimeter assembly considering all necessary


    corrections.
    o To calculate the gross heat of combustion in cal/g of the unknown sample using
    the given equation.

    Discussion:

    In this experiment, calculate the heat of combustion of the sample. Also determine the
    molar enthalpy change, ΔH, for the combustion of Benzoic acid and also the unknown. From
    literature, the ΔH of benzoic acid is said to be -384.8 ± 0.50 KH/mol. Convert it to cal/g as required
    unit for ΔH in the table. So the converted ΔH is now -754.4353196 Cal/g and using the formula
    ΔH=CvΔT to acquire the value of its Cv. Both Benzoic acid and the unknown sample has the same
    𝐶𝑣∆T−Es−En−Efe
    value of Cv in cal/ ºC. Using the equation ( ) to calculate the ΔH of the unknown.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion, heat capacity of the calorimeter assembly considering all necessary


    corrections was -280.3310455 cal/ ºC and the heat capacity of the heat of combustion of the
    unknown sample was -793.06 cal/g.
