Example 5.7b: Bomb Calorimetry
When 0.963 g of benzene, \(\ce{C6H6}\), is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter increases by 8.39 °C. The bomb has a heat capacity of 784 J/°C and is submerged in 925 mL of water. How much heat was produced by the combustion of the glucose sample?
