The combustion of 0.1584 g of benzoic acid (Ecomb = 26.42 kJ/g) increases the temperature of a bomb  calorimeter by 2.54 °C. A 0.3774 g sample of an unknown compound with molecular formula C10H8N2 is then burned in the same calorimeter, and the temperature increases by 3.08 °C. Calculate the molar  energy of combustion for the unknown compound.
