Question 1

A bomb calorimeter containing 9500 J/°C shows a temperature rise from 20.0 °C to 30.0 °C. Calculate the heat released during the reaction.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for heat calculation.

Question 2

If a combustion reaction releases 8000 J of heat and the reaction produced 1 mole of gas, what is the new enthalpy change considering that 0.5 moles of gas were lost?

💡 Hint: Account for the change in gas moles and convert into units as necessary.
