Problem

In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of a gas with molar mass 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0 K298.0 \text{ K} . The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0 K298.0 \text{ K} to 298.45 K298.45 \text{ K} due to the combustion process. Given that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.5 kJ K−12.5 \text{ kJ K}^{-1} , the numerical value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas is kJ mol−1\text{kJ mol}^{-1} is.
