A bomb calorimeter is filled with 2.8 atm of an unknown gaseous hydrocarbon fuel and an excess of oxygen gas at a temperature of 20.3

A bomb calorimeter is filled with 2.8 atm of an unknown gaseous hydrocarbon fuel and an excess of oxygen gas at a temperature of 20.3 °C. The bomb calorimeter has a volume of 2.7 L and a heat capacity of 6.4 kJ/K. After the combustion reaction is complete the final temperature of the calorimeter is found to be 123.7 °C. Answer the following questions based on this information.

( a) What amount of heat in kJ was released from the combustion reaction of the unknown fuel? Please give your answer to 2 decimal places.

(b) What is the molar heat of combustion for the reaction in kJ/mol? Please give your answer to 2 decimal places.

(c) Given the table of data below, what is the identity of the unknown gas?
