The goal of this experiment is to determine the enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene by means of a bomb calorimeter. First‚ the bomb calorimeter was standardized using benzoic acid and the average heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was calculated to be 10.60.3205 kJ/K. From that‚ the These results show that heats of combustions of unknown substances can be determined via bomb calorimetry. Introduction The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved.2 Using that law it can
