JEE Main 3 April 2025, Shift 2, Chemistry Q72

Question 72 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 22 of 25, Section B.

A sample of n-octane (1.14 g) was completely burnt in excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, whose heat capacity is 5 kJ K−1\mathrm{K^{-1}}. As a result of combustion reaction, the temperature of the calorimeter is increased by 5 K. The magnitude of the heat of combustion of octane at constant volume is __________ kJ mol−1\mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}} (nearest integer).
