The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calbrating constant-volume bomb calorimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be −3226.7molkJ. When 2.6409g of benzolc acld are bumed in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from 21.84∘C to 26.677∘C. What is the heat capscity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly 2250 g.) Round vour answer to 3 significant digits. Note: Reference the Phase change properties of pure substances table for additional information.
