...problem? The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is -26.42 kJ/g. The combustion of a 1.176-g sample of benzoic acid causes a temperature increase of 4.96 degrees Celsius in a bomb calorimeter assembly. What is the heat capacity of the assembly?
This is a practice problem from my textbook and the solution is in the back (6.26 kJ/degree C). I just don't know how to get it.
