When 8.11 g of a hydrocarbon is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases by 3.75∘C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 58.9 J ∘C and it is submerged in 742 mL of water, how much heat (in kJ ) was produced by the hydrocarbon combustion? Use 4.184 J g∘C for the specific heat capacity of water. Your answer should have three significant figures. Provide your answer below: kJ
