A 2 g sample of lauric acid (C12H24O2), a common constituent of fats, is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 51.2oC (Celsius). Given that the energy of combustion (E) for lauric is -37.1 kJ/g, calculate the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter. Make sure you enter kJ/C for your unit behind the number.
My answer: -.362kJ/C
What am I doing wrong?
