A 1.79 g sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) was burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter, which alone had a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/oC, contained 7 g of water. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increased from 23.23oC to 27.95oC. What is ΔH (in kJ) for the combustion per 1.00 mol of acetic acid? MW of acetic acid is 60 g/mol.
