Discuss the energy of combustion per unit mass


The complete combustion of salicylic acidreleases 21.90 kJ of energy per gram of salicylic acid. In aparticular bomb calorimeter (initially at room temperature), the combustion of 0.1858 g of salicylic acid, in the presence of excessoxygen, causes the temperature of the calorimeter to rise by 2.32°C. When a 0.3044-g sample of an unknown organic substance issimilarly burned in the same calorimeter, the temperature rises by3.72 °C. What is the energy of combustion per unit mass of the unknown substance?
