Mothballs are composed primarily of the hydrocarbon naphthalene (C10H8). When 1.025 g of naphthalene burns in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 24.25 °C to 32.33 °C. Find ΔErxn for the combustion of naphthalene. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.11 kJ/°C.
