A bomb-type calorimeter is used to measure the heat evolved by the combustion of glucose, C6H12O6. Write the balanced reaction. A 3.00-g sample of glucose is placed in the iron bomb calorimeter with a mass of 4275 g. The bomb is filled with oxygen gas under pressure and placed in a well-insulated calorimeter vessel filled with 1.20 kg of water. The reaction vessel is ignited by the electrical heating of a wire within the bomb. The reaction causes the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents to rise from 19.00o.C to 25.50o.C. Calculate the H combustion for 1.00 mol of glucose. (The specific heat of iron = 0.107 cal/go.C or 0.447 J/g.oC; the molar mass of glucose = 180.0 g/mol.)
