Calorimeter question

Question

A mixture of ammonia, NH3(g), and methane, CH4(g), is burned in an excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The heat released during this combustion reaction is 1377.65 kJ. If the calorimeter has a heat capacity of

15.6 kJ/°C, by how much will the calorimeter and its contents change in temperature?

Answer 1

1377.65 kJ x 1º/15.6kJ = 88.3ºC. This will be the change in temperature of the surroundings, which will be the calorimeter and the contents.
