Two experiments were conducted in a bomb calorimeter. The first experiment was to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter, the second the heat of combustion of decanamide $$\left({\mathrm{C}}_{10}{\mathrm{H}}_{21}\mathrm{NO}\right)$$. In the first experiment, the temperature rises from $$23.74{}^{?}\mathrm{C}$$ to $$28.84{}^{?}\mathrm{C}$$ when the calorimeter absorbs 5781. J of heat. In the second experiment, the combustion of $$0.4681\mathrm{g}$$ of decanamide increases the temperature from $$23.99^{?}\mathrm{C}$$ to $$28.85^{?}\mathrm{C}$$. A. Begin by determining the heat capacity of the calorimeter: $$\mathrm{J}/{}^{?}\mathrm{C}$$
