13. a.(3pts) A new bomb calorimeter is purchased by Mealy Mountain Collegiate. It is first
calibrated by combusting 1.55g of Ethanol (C2H5OH) (Enthalpy of Combustion = -1368 KJ/mol)
and a temperature change of 4.001OC is observed. Determine the Heat Capacity of the bomb
calorimeter.
b. 3pts. After calibration of the bomb calorimeter, a 0.200 mol sample of another alcohol was
combusted in excess oxygen, and the recorded temperature change was 13.10 OC. What is the
enthalpy of combustion of the other alcohol?
c. 2pts Based on your answer in b), and the data given in a), what alcohol do you think was
combusted in b)? Why?
14. Use the following equations to find the enthalpy change of the formation of methane, CH4,
from chloroform, CHCl3. (6pts)
CHCl3(l) + 3 HCl(g)  CH4(g)
(1) ½ H2(g) + ½ Cl2(g)  HCl(g)
(2) C(s) + 2H2(g)  CH4(g)
