What volume of fuel should you bring? Assume each of the following: the fuel has an average formula of C7H16 ; 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water (the rest is lost to the surroundings); the density of the fuel is 0.78 g/mL; the initial temperature of the water is 25.0 degrees C; and the standard enthalpy of formation of C7H16} is -224.4 kJ/mol
