Chapter 6, Problem 6SAQ

Q6. When a 3.80-g sample of liquid octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rises by 27.3 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, measured in a separate experiment, is 6.18 kJ/°C. Determine theenthalpy of combustion for octane combustion in units of kJ/mol octane.
