When a 4.31 g sample of liquid octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rises by 27.3 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter, measured in a separate experiment, is 6.2 kJ/•C. The calorimeter also contains 3.00 kg of water, specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/g°C. Determine the heat of combustion of octane in units of kJ/mol octane. Enter vour answer pumerically and in terms of k/mol
