Explanation / Answer

First calculate the heat transfered from the burned quinone tothe calorimeter. Qrxn = CT Qrxn = (1.56 kJ/°C) (3.2°C) = 4.992 kJ Then, Ecombustion = 4.992 kJ / 0.1964 g = 25.417 kJ/g . . The molar mass of quinone is 108 g/mol, so . Ecombustion = 4.992 kJ/ [0.1964 g/ (108 g/mol)] =4.992kJ/ 1.8185x10-3 mol = 2745.09 kJ/mol
