The energy content of food is typically determined using a bomb calorimeter. Consider the combustion of a 0.24-g sample of butter in a bomb calorimeter having a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/°C. If the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 23.5°C to 26.0°C, calculate the energy of combustion per gram of butter.
