Calculate the heat released per mole of RDX from this reaction. 

Using value from a and other info, calculate the moles of RDX combusted

Calculate grams of RDX combusted

Calculate the percent of RDX in the 6.15 g sample

1. Terrorists have been trying to transport the explosive RDX (MM = 222.15 g/mol) by mixing it with dirt and embedding the mixture in the soles of their shoes. An FBI agent took a 6.15 g sample of the explosive-laden dirt and burned it in a constant volume (bomb) calorimeter. The temperature of the system rose 1.72 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 1.53 kJ/°C and the mass of water surrounding the calorimeter is 1000. g. The reaction taking place in the calorimeter is as follows: [Swater = 4.184 J/g °C; be sure to watch units] 161-004 Component C3H6N6O6 (s) H₂O (8) CO (g) 1020 021 O AH, kJ/mol 83.8 -241.8 -110.5 C3H6N6O6 (s)→ 3 CO(g) + 3 H₂O (g) + 3 N2 (g) RDX 5% 0.80 to s ob obiss m alculate the heat released per mole (AHrxn) of RDX from this reaction.
