Aspirin is produced commercially from salicylic acid, C7O3H6. A large shipment of salicylic acid was contaminated with fully oxidized boric oxide, which, like salicylic acid, is a white powder. The heat of combustion of salicylic acid at constant volume in the bomb calorimeter is 3000 Kj / mol. Boric oxide, because it is oxidized, does not burn in the pump. When a 3,556g sample of salicylic acid is burned, the pump raises its temperature by just 2,556 ° C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is equal to 13.62 KJ / ° C, how much of the sample is boric oxide, in terms of grams and%?
