Working out the heat capacity
« on: March 03, 2020, 08:07:30 AM »
If a bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 12500 J K-1 and it weighs 1.2 Kg, what is its specific heat capacity in units of J K-1 g-1?

Any thoughts of your own? Perhaps looking at the units might help?

Bizarre figures. Is it made of unobtainium?
