A 0 . 1 0 0 mol sample of propane, a gas used in portable gas cookers, was placed in a bomb calorimeter with excess

0.100 mol sample of propane, a gas used in portable gas cookers, was placed in a bomb calorimeter with excess oxygen and ignited. The reaction was

C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l)

The water bath surrounding the calorimeter contained 1.000 kg of water at an initial temperature of 25.000 oC. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was 93.1 kJ K-1. The reaction raised the temperature of the water bath to 27.282 oC. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J g-1 K-1

(a) How much heat was liberated in this reaction?

(b) What is the enthalpy of reaction of propane with oxygen?
