Methanol can also be combusted in the presence of oxygen in order to release its energy. 16.0 g of methanol was placed in a bomb calorimeter (with a known heat capacity of 1.37 kJ-K-'), together with 2.50 kg water. 2.2 After methanol was combusted, the temperature of the water increased by 30 °C. Calculate the change in internal energy of methanol (in kJ-mol-')

Please answer 2.2 Only. 

2.1
Methanol is an attractive fuel source in a sustainable, green economy. The chemical energy inherent in
methanol can be utilized in a multitude of reactions. Consider the following reaction for the
decomposition of methanol:
2CH;OH(f) → 2CH4(g) + 02(g)
Use Hess' Law to calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ-mol-1) of this reaction, given the following known
thermochemical data:
H20(?) → /202(g) + H2(g)
CH4(g) + H20(g)→ 3H2(g) + CO(g)
2H2 (g) + CO(g) → CH3OH(?)
H20(g) → H20(t)
