Define how much heat is released per gram of oil shale

Reference no: EM13668853

A 4.0 g sample of Colorado oil shale is burned in a bomb calorimeter, which causes the temperature of the calorimeter to increase by 5.0 C. The calorimeter contains 1.00 kg of water (CH2O = 4.184 J/g C) and the heat capacity of the empty calorimeter is 0.10 kJ/C. How much heat is released per gram of oil shale when it is burned?

21kJ/g
42kJ/g
0kJ/g
5.4kJ/g
