An organic compound was synthesized in the laboratory. The compound is known to contain three functional groups - an alcohol, an alkene, and an ester. Using IR spectroscopy, a broad peak was observed in the region between 3200-3400 cm^-1, which indicates the presence of the alcohol group. However, two different peaks were observed in the region between 1640-1680 cm^-1, which could correspond to either the alkene or ester group. Using other spectroscopic techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry, determine the structure of the compound and identify which peak corresponds to the alkene or ester functional group.

A student wants to measure the heat of crystallization of sodium acetate trihydrate. The student takes 50 g of sodium acetate trihydrate and dissolves it in 100 ml of water at 70°C. The solution is then allowed to cool to 20°C, during which the sodium acetate trihydrate crystallizes out. The student measures the temperature change during this process and finds that the temperature drops to 45°C. What is the heat of crystallization of sodium acetate trihydrate in kJ/mol?
