JEE Main 2025 Chemistry question
A sample of n-octane (1.14 g) was completely burnt in excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, whose heat capacity is 5 kJ K. As a result of combustion reaction, the temperature of the calorimeter is increased by 5 K. The magnitude of the heat of combustion of octane at constant volume is kJ mol (nearest integer).
Answer: 2500
Solution
Q = CΔT = 25 kJ; kJ/mol
