In an experiment, a 1.4710 g sample of maleic acid (C4H4O4) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1159 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 22.46 to 25.59 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, not including the surrounding water, was determined in a previous experiment to be 852.2 J/°C. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of maleic acid based on these data. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, what is the molar heat of combustion of maleic acid, based on these data? (in kJ/mol).
