Multiple Choice
Mothballs are composed primarily of the hydrocarbon naphthalene (C10H8). When 0.820 g of naphthalene burns in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.10 °C to 31.56 °C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 5.11 kJ/°C, what is the change in internal energy (ΔErxn) for the combustion of naphthalene?
