Problem

Exactly 3.0 g of carbon was burned to CO2\text{CO}_2 in copper calorimeter. The mass of calorimeter is 1.5 kg and the mass of water in calorimeter is 2 kg. The initial temperature was 20∘C20^{\circ}\text{C} and final temperature was 31.5∘C31.5^{\circ}\text{C}. If specific heat of copper is 0.0826 cal/g⋅K0.0826 \text{ cal/g}\cdot\text{K}, the heat value to closest integer of carbon in kcal/g is .....
