2.000g of Compound X with molecular formula C4H6 are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00kg of water at 25°C. The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 0.5325°C.  (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25°C. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.
