Explain the change in temperature of the calorimeter

Reference no: EM13310594

Benzoic acid, C7H6O2, is a standard used in determining the heat capacity of a calorimeter. Delta H of combustion of benzoic acid is 3.22 x e3 kJ/mol. 0.5 g of benzoic acid was burned in a calorimeter containing 1000.0 g of water. The change in temperature of the calorimeter was 3 degrees C. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter in J/K.
