A 0.576 g sample of liquid C5H12 was combusted using excess oxygen gas inside a bomb calorimeter, with the products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. The calorimeter's heat capacity is 4.957 kJ °C^-1. If the temperature inside the calorimeter increased from 25.0 °C to 35.1 °C, determine A,U for this reaction in kl mol (with respect to C3H12). Do not worry about how realistic the final answer is.
