A chemist placed a 1.195 g sample of fuel in a bomb calorimeter which was immersed into 2.00 L of water. After complete combustion with oxygen, the water temperature rose from 20.1 °C to 26.4 °C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of fuel? Assume that the calorimeter absorbs a negligible amount of heat and that the density of water in this temperature range is 1.00 g/mL.
