A 22.0 g sample of propane is burned in a bomb calorimeter that contains 300. g of water. If the temperature change is 18.5∘C and the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 824 J∘C, how much heat was released by the combustion of the propane sample? Assume the heat capacities of the reaction products are negligible compared to that of the water and the calorimeter. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g∘C. Your answer should have three significant figures. Enter the amount of heat released as a positive quantity. Provide your answer below:
