Question

A 1.994 g sample of ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 10.91 K. If the heat capacity of the bomb is 615.5 J/K and it contains 1.150 kg of water, what is the enthalpy change per mole of ethanol combusted? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/gK and the molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol.
A.-5.921 101 kJ/mol
B.-2.563 103 kJ/mol
C.-1.181 105 kJ/mol
D.-1.368 103 kJ/mol
E.-122.7 103 kJ/mol
