7. The temperature of 950 g of water is increased from 25.5 °C to 28.5 °C on burning 0.75 g of a solid fuel in a bomb calorimeter. Water equivalent of calorimeter and latent heat of steam are 400 g and 587 cal/g, respectively. If the fuel contains 0.65% hydrogen, calculate the net calorific value. [Ans: 5365.66 cal/g]
