When backpacking in the wilderness, hikers often boil water to sterilize it for drinking. Suppose that you are planning a backpacking trip and will need to boil 30 L of water for your group. What volume of fuel should you bring? Assume each of the following: the fuel has an average formula of C7H16; 15\% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water (the rest is lost to the surroundings); the density of the fuel is 0.78g/mL; the initial temperature of the water is 25.0 and the standard enthalpy of formation of C7H16 is -224.4 kJ/mol.
