Explanation / Answer

Heat energy used = number of moles x molar heat capacity x change in temperature

heat energy used = 13 J

change in temperature = 19.5 K (I have taken the initial temperature as -7.9)

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass = 0.405/72 = 0.005625

(molar mass of C4H8O is 72 g/mole)

substitute in the above equation

molar heat capacity = 13/(0.005625 x 19.5) = 118.51 J/K.moles
