A quantity of 1.435 g. of naphthalene (C10H8), a pungent smelling substance used in moth repellents, was burned in a constant-volume calorimeter. Consequently, the temperature of the water rose from 20.28°C to 25.95°C. if the heat capacity of the bomb plus water was 10.17 kJ/°C, calculate the heat of combustion of naphthalene on a molar basis; that is, find the molar heat of combustion.

A 0.5786 g. of unknown substance is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1.674 kJ/°C. After the reaction, the temperature increased by 1.432°C. Find the heat given-off by the burning of the unknown in kJ/g.
