Question
$2.4 \mathrm{~g}$ coal is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at $298 \mathrm{~K}$ and $1 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from $298 \mathrm{~K}$ to $300 \mathrm{~K}$. The enthalpy change during the combustion of coal is $-x \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is ___________. (Nearest Integer)
(Given : Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter $20.0 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$. Assume coal to be pure carbon)
Correct Answer
