A bomb calorimeter is filled with 9 atm of an unknown gaseous hydrocarbon fuel and an excess of oxygen gas at a temperature of 20.5 °C. The bomb calorimeter has a volume of 4.1 L and a heat capacity of 7.64 kJ/K. After the combustion reaction is complete the final temperature of the calorimeter is found to be 333.3 °C. Answer the following questions based on this information.

(a) What amount of heat in kJ was released from the combustion reaction of the unknown fuel? Please give your answer to 2 decimal places.

(b) What is the molar heat of combustion for the reaction in kJ/mol? Please give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Fuel	Chemical Formula	Molar Heat of Combustion
ethene	CH₂CH₂	-1324.1 kJ/mol
ethane	CH₃CH₃	-1560.6 kJ/mol
propane	CH₃CH₂CH₃	-2218.1 kJ/mol
propyne	CHCCH₃	-1849.6 kJ/mol

(d) What is the heat of combustion for the reaction in kJ/g? Please give your answer to 2 decimal places.

A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.466-g sample of 1,8-octanediol (C8H18O2) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1200. g of water. The temperature increases from 25.90 °C...
