The combustion of 1.00 mol of sucrose, C12H22O11, evolves 5.65 x 103 kJ of heat. A bomb calorimeter with a calorimeter constant of 1.23 kJ/oC contains 0.600 kg of water. How many grams of sucrose should be burned to raise the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents from 23.0oC to 50.0oC? (The calorimeter constant represents the heat capacity of the empty calorimeter.) The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/goC.
