14. To compare the energies of combustion of methane and hydrogen, the following experiment was carried out using a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 11.3 kJ/°C. When a 1.50 g sample of methane gas was burned with excess oxygen in the calorimeter, the temperature increased by 7.3°C. When a 1.15 g sample of hydrogen gas was burned with excess oxygen, the temperature increase was 14.3 °C. Calculate the energy of combustion (per mole) for hydrogen and methane.
