4. A 15.0 g sample of ethanol in an alcohol burner, is used as fuel to heat up 2.0 L of coffee from 22.3°C to 80.6°C. Assuming that no heat was lost, what is the molar enthalpy change of the complete combustion of the ethanol? The specific heat capacity of the coffee is the same as the specific heat capacity of water. *Hint you will need to know the formula for ethanol*
