The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calorimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be −3226.7 kJ/mol. When 3.2891 g of benzoic acid are burned in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from 22.84°C to 26.67°C. What is the heat capacity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly 2250 g.)
