A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1500.g of water.

First, a 7.500g tablet of benzoic acid C6H5CO2H is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 10.00°C to 36.99°C over a time of 13.0 minutes.

Next, 5.260g of ethanol C2H5OH are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 10.00°C to 28.03°C.

Use this information, to answer the questions below about this reaction:

C2H5OH(l)+ 3O2(g)→ 2CO2(g)+ 3H2O(g)

a. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?
b. If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.
c. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of CO2
