2. Calculate the heat of combustion of C6H14(l) in kJ/mol if 1.66 g of C6H14(l) were ignited in a calorimeter containing 2750. g H2O. A 3.54˚C temperature rise was observed. The calorimeter constant is 11.2 kJ/˚C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g˚C.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%

the answer is c
