You place 5.82 g of a liquid PEG sample at 20.5 oC into a thermally-insulated container having 54.7 g water at the same temperature, and record the final equilibrium (plateau) temperature 44.9 oC. The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g/oC and the specific heat of PEG is 0.498 cal/g/oC. Calculate the hydration energy (heat of hydration) for PEG in units of kcal/g (careful!). Enter the value (do not enter units) to 3 significant figures.
