4. When backpacking in the wilderness, hikers often boil water to sterilize it for drinking. Suppose that you are
planning a backpacking trip and will need to boil 35.0 L of water for your group. What volume of fuel should
you bring? Assume that the fuel has an average formula of CH16; 15% of the heat generated from
combustion goes to heat the water (the rest is lost to surroundings); the density of the fuel is 0.78 g/ml; the
initial temperature of the water is 25.0 °C; and the standard enthalpy of formation of CH16 is -224.4 kJ/mol.
