A) The reaction for the combustion of solid sulfur is given below:
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
A student combusts a 10.8 gram sample of sulfur in a bomb calorimeter, and records the initial temperature of the calormieter to be 25 degrees Celsius and the final temperature to be 37 degrees Celsius. What is the change in enthalpy for this reaction in kJ/mol if the calorimeter constant was measured to be 7.86 kJ/C.
