The heat of combustion of the sample is calculated to be -1300 kJmol-1.
We know that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another. The heat lost by the ethanol when it is burnt is equal to the heat gained by the calorimeter.
Heat gained by calorimeter = 2.×10^3 g × 2. 45 Jg-1°C-1 × 1. 33°C
= 6.5 kJ
Number of moles of ethanol = 0. 2301 g/46 g/mol = 0.005 moles
Heat of combustion of the sample = -( 6.5/0.005 moles) = -1300 kJmol-1
