A 10.0 g sample of propane, CaHs, was combusted in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. The total heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter and water was 8.0 kJ/°C. The molar heat of combustion of propane is -2 222 KJ/mol. If the starting temperature of the water was 20 °C, what will be the final temperature of the bomb calorimeter?
