A sample of octane (C8H18) that has a mass of 0.750 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter. As a result, the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 21.0°C to 41.0°C. The specific heat of the calorimeter is 1.50 J/(g • °C), and its mass is 1.00 kg. How much heat is released during the combustion of this sample? Use q equals m C subscript p Delta T.. 22.5 kJ 30.0 kJ 31.5 kJ 61.5 kJ
