Q.

2.4g coal is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298K and 1 atm pressure. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 298K to 300K. The enthalpy change during the combustion of coal  is - x kJ mol-1. The value of x is (Nearest Integer) (Given : Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter 20.0 kJ K-1. Assume coal to be pure carbon)

C+O2(g)CO2 ΔH=?
 Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter is 20 kJ K-1
=20kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature by 1K
 So. to raise temperature by 2K,40kJ of heat is required. 
q=40kJ
 Number of moles of C=2.4g12g/mol=0.2mol
 So, heat absorbed on combustion of 0.2mol or 2.4g of C is 40kJ. 
 On combustion of 1mol of carbon heat absorbed 
(H)=40kJ0.2mol=200kJ/mol
