5-12. The following data were taken from an oxygen-bomb calorimeter test: weight of fuel pan and coal, 6.9359 g; weight of fuel pan, 6.0502 g; weight of water, 1600 g; water equivalent of apparatus, 490 g; temperature rise, 2.837 C; radiation temperature correction, 0.009 C (additive); thermometer calibration correction +0.003 C. Calculate the higher heating value of the coal in celories per gram and in Btu per pound.
