Question 4 10 pts In order to better understand an unknown organic chemical, it was fully combusted in a bomb calorimete
Question 4 10 pts In order to better understand an unknown organic chemical, it was fully combusted in a bomb calorimeter to determine the molar enthalpy of combustion. When the bomb calorimeter was calibrated, its heat capacity was measured to be 379.26J/°C. The bomb calorimeter was then prepared for the experiment by adding 500.00 grams of water at a temperature of 22.95°C. When a sample of the unknown organic compound was fully combusted in the bomb calorimeter, the temperature after thermal equilibrium was established was measured to be 32.74°C. What is the mass, in grams, of this organic compound that was combusted? Round your final answer to two decimal places. The enthalpy of combustion of the organic compound is-228.4 kJ/mole. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g °C. The molar mass of the unknown organic compound was known to be 100.18 g/mole.
