Answer:

The approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

q=c\times \Delta T

where,

q = Heat gained = ?

c = Specific heat = 2.68 kJ/^oC

ΔT =  The change in temperature = 3.08°C

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=2.68 kJ/^oC\times 3.08^oC

q=8.2544 kJ

Now we have to calculate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance :

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H_{comb} = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 8.2544kJ

n = number of moles methane = \frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{\text{Molar mass of methane }}=\frac{2.00 g}{16.042 g/mol}=0.1247 mole

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{8.2544 kJ}{0.1247 mole}=-66.21 kJ/mole\approx -66 kJ/mole

Therefore,  the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.
