A quantity of 4.275 g of an organic compound with a molecular formula C₁2H₂2 was burned in a constant volume bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the water rose from 20.50 °C to 37.50°C. If the quantity of water surrounding the calorimeter was exactly 2255 g and the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was 1.150kJ/°C, calculate the molar heat of combustion in kJ/mol of C₁2H22- (HINT: Double check units to ensure that you are adding like units)

1.
A quantity of 4.275 g of an organic compound with a molecular formula C₁2H₂2 was
burned in a constant volume bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the water rose
from 20.50 °C to 37.50°C. If the quantity of water surrounding the calorimeter was
exactly 2255 g and the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was 1.150kJ/°C,
calculate the molar heat of combustion in kJ/mol of C₁2H22. (HINT: Double check
units to ensure that you are adding like units)
