5.00 g of octane are burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 2.00 * 10^2 g of water. how many Calories of energy are released if the water temperature increases 6.00 degrees C?

q = mass x specific heat x delta T.
That's mass H2O x sp.h.H2O x delta T water.
do i use the 5.00 g or the 2.00 * 10^2 g?
ok so it'd be
(2.00*10^2)(6.00 degree C) and then what would be the specific heat?
(2.00*10^2)(6.00 degree C) and then what would be the specific heat?
specific heat of h2o is 4.184
i got 5020.8
you have to convert it from joules to calories and idk that off hand but other then that it looks good so far
ok, we didn't do joules in class, so hopefully that's what my teacher wants. thank you!
