Question

When a 0.650  g sample of a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 4920  J/°C, the temperature rises by 8.50 °C.

What is the change in energy (in kilojoules) for the reaction?
Calculate the energy change by the combustion of a 6.00  g sample of the same mixture.
