A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.27kg sample of C4H6O2 from 41.3°C to 60.6°C. The experiment shows that 3.87 × 10^4J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C4H6O2? Round your answer to 3 significant digits. = J⋅mol−1K−1
