    amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a gram of water (Snack Food Calorimetry). Heat energy is the movement of tiny particles in solid, liquid, and gas (Heat Energy). Heat energy is used during calorimetry because heat is measured by the amount of energy absorbed or released. The law of conservation of energy states that during any chemical or physical change the amount of energy stays the same (Holt 40). The temperature of water will be used to determine how much heat was absorbed

    solution when it reacts with 25cm3 Copper II Sulphate. Theory: Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Different materials absorb different amount of heat when their temperature rises by one degree Celsius. Therefore, every material has a different specific heat capacity. Metals usually heat up very easily because they have a low specific heat. Equations Mn(s) + CuSO4 (aq)  MnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s) Fe(s) + CuSO4 (aq)

    Abstract Bomb calorimeter was used in the experiment to determine the standard heat of combustion and formation of naphthalene. The heat capacity, C(s), of the bomb calorimeter obtained from a standard benzoic acid combustion was 10792.3±184.651 J/℃. Using this C(s), the enthalpy of combustion (∆Hcombust) of naphthalene was determined to be -5134.96±33.3433 kJ/mol. The final standard formation ((∆Hf, C10H8。) of naphthalene was 56.438±33.3433 kJ/mol, which was not very close to the theoretical value
