Glycerol (also called glycerine), C3?H8?O3? (l), is a viscous, sweet-tasting liquid used in a variety of food and personal care products. Under constant-volume conditions, the combustion of 1.000mol of glycerol releases 1653kJ of heat to the surroundings. A 2.830-g sample of glycerol is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 22.53 to 27.42?C. Write a balanced equation for the combustion reaction, assuming the products are CO2?(g) and H2?O(l). Express your answer as a chemical equation including phases. Part B What is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter? Express the total heat capacity in kilojoules per degree Celsius to four significant figures. Part C If the size of the glycerol sample had been 4.200g, what would the temperature change of the calorimeter have been? Express your answer in degrees Celsius to four significant figures.
