A 4.500 g sample of methanol, CH3OH, was combusted in thepresence of excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter containing 4.000 x103 g of water. The temperature of the water increased from 24.60°C to 29.76°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 2657 J/°C.The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C. How much heat, in kJ,was produced by the combustion of the methanol sample? (Requires atleast 4 steps of calculations.)
-112 kJ
-314 kJ
-95.2 kJ
-489 kJ
