Gram for gram, fats in food have much more chemical energy than sugar. One component of fat is stearic acid, C18H36O2. When a sample of 1.00 g of stearic acid was burned completely, it raised the temperature of 150.0 g water above it by 72.40 degrees C. Calculate the heat of combustion of stearic acid in kilojoules per gram. You may discount heat lost to the environment.
