Abstract
A high-precision micro-combustion calorimeter was developed. Details of the calorimeter are described. The energy equivalent of the calorimeter and th e standard deviation of the mean were determined to be (67.8330 +/- 0.0024) J . K-1 after calibration with thermochemical standard benzoic acid (five experiments). The standard enthalpy of combustion of anthracene was determi ned to be -(7065.0 +/- 1.1) kJ mol(-1).
