Question

Propane is used as a home fuel in some areas. When 3.00 g ofpropane, C3H8, is burned in a bombcalorimeter whose heat capacity is 32.7 kJ/K, the temperatureincreases by 4.62 Kelvins. Calculate the heat of combustion ofpropane in kJ per mole. (The answer is 2720 kJ/mol, but I dont know how to do it.Please show your work. Thanks!) Propane is used as a home fuel in some areas.
