Work up the data exactly as described in the lab manual for this experiment.  Use methyl salicylate to determine the calorimeter constant and to develop your technique.  Then determine the heats of combustion of your isomeric esters.  Good luck!

Some differences exist between different bomb heads.  Make sure you can identify the electrical leads, inlet fitting and outlet valve in yours.
