APFIVE Bomb Calorimeter Experimental Uncertainty
In a bomb calorimeter, 0.842 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is completely combusted. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 25.00°C to 28.76°C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 7.854 kJ/°C, which energy transfer process contributes the LEAST to the uncertainty in calculating the molar enthalpy of combustion?
A
Energy from the chemical reaction of combustion
B
Energy lost through phase transitions
C
Energy transferred as heat to the calorimeter
D
Energy lost to the surroundings
