96. A 0.3423 g sample of pentane, C5H12, was burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature
of the calorimeter and the 1.000 kg of water contained therein rose from 20.22C to 22.82C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.21 kJ/C. The heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g·C.
How much heat was given off during combustion of the sample of pentane?
