0.4 g of Propane burns completely at 300 K in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter and surrounding water rises by \(0.4^0 \mathrm{C}\).
If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and contents is \(24 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) what is the Enthalpy for the reaction?
(Assume that propane gas shows ideal behaviour).

  1. A \(-1063.5 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  2. B \(-1902.8 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  3. C \(-1006.9 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  4. D \(-2084.6 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
