The heat liberated when $1.89 \ g$ of benzoic acid is burnt in a bomb calorimeter at $25^{\circ} C$ increases the temperature of $18.94 \ kg$ of water by $0.632^{\circ} C$. If the specific heat of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is $0.998 \ cal / (g^{\circ} C)$,then find the heat of combustion of benzoic acid.

  • A
    $2540 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
  • B
    $1975 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
  • C
    $3240 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
  • D
    $2825 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
