CALCULATION
Mole of benzoic acid:
0.852𝑔
= 122.1 𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙
= 6.98x10-3 mol
Heat released in the formation of benzoic acid:
= (6.98x10-3 mol) (13800cal/mol)
= 96.324 cal
Heat released in the combustion of fuse wire:
= (6.98x10-3 mol) (1400cal/mol)
= 9.772 cal
Calorimeter constant;
𝐻𝑚+𝑒1+𝑒2
W= ∆𝑇
(6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔)(0.852𝑔) + 13800 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑚𝑜𝑙 +1400 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑔

= 2.08º𝐶
= 8.90 kJ/ºC
Heat of combustion;
𝑊𝛥𝑇
e2 = 𝐻𝑚+𝑒1
(8.90 𝑘𝐽/º𝐶)(2.08º𝐶)
= (6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔)(0.852𝑔) + 13800 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑚𝑜𝑙
= 9.65x10-4 cal/g
Comparison:
26.454
m= 𝐻
26.454
= 6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔
= 4.19x10-3 cal/g
Therefore,
4.19x10-3 cal/g ˃ 9.65x10-4 cal/g
Mole of albumin:
1.034𝑔
= 66000 𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙
= 1.57x10-5 mol
Heat released in the formation of benzoic acid:
= (1.57x10-5 mol) (13800cal/mol)
= 0.217 cal
Heat released in the combustion of fuse wire:
= (1.57x10-5 mol) (1400cal/mol)
= 0.022 cal
Calorimeter constant;
𝐻𝑚+𝑒1+𝑒2
W= ∆𝑇
(6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔)(1.034𝑔) + 13800 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑚𝑜𝑙 +1400 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑔

= 2.50º𝐶
= 8693.12 kJ/ºC
Heat of combustion;
𝑊𝛥𝑇
e2 = 𝐻𝑚+𝑒1
(8693.12 𝑘𝐽/º𝐶)(2.50º𝐶)
= (6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔)(1.034𝑔) + 13800 𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑚𝑜𝑙
= 1.07 cal/g
Comparison:
26.454
m= 𝐻
26.454
= 6318 𝑘𝑎𝑙/𝑔
= 4.19x10-3 cal/g
Therefore,
4.19x10-3 cal/g ˂ 1.07 cal/g

DISCUSSION
The bomb calorimeter is a very useful tool to have in the lab. It allows us to discover the
thermodynamic properties of a substance that is unknown. It accomplishes this by
running a known substance in the bomb such as benzoic acid and then comparing the
values of the unknown substance such as albumin. The graphs show is what to be
expected. They begin with a stable temperature before ignition and a rapid increase
after ignition is started. Eventually the graph settles back to an even temperature that is
higher than the starting temperature. This behaviour occurs because of the nature of a
combustion reaction. As the material is being combusted bonds are breaking and this
requires energy to be released in the form of thermal energy. This energy is then
transferred to the water and the temperature is registered and recorded. Also, albumin
displayed higher values of energy than benzoic acid due to its structure. Albumin is a
complex organic ring structure with carbon bonds that more difficult to break than the
carbon oxygen bonds of the acid. This leads to greater energy needed to break the
bonds and a greater energy released as heat. Therefore, the albumin creates more heat
than benzoic acid during combustion.
CONCLUSION
The calorimeter constant using benzoic acid is 8.90 kJ/ºC. The heat of combustion of an
easily combustible material; albumin is 1.07 cal/g.
