Q8. A 0.500 g sample of TNT (C7H5N₂O6) is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 610 g of water at an initial temperature of 20.00°C. After the reaction, the final temperature of the water is 22.5°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 420 J/°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/ gºC. Calculate the heat of combustion of TNT in kJ/mol. A: -3400kJ/mol
