A 5.6-g sample of Colorado oil shale is burned in a bomb calorimeter, which causes the temperature of the calorimeter to increase by 9.9∘C. The calorimeter contains 1.056 kg of water (specific heat capacity of H2O=4.184 J/g∘C ) and the heat capacity of the empty calorimeter is 0.11 kJ/∘C. How much heat is released (in kJ ) per gram of oil shale when it is burned? Write only the value of your answer without the unit to the hundredths place. For example, if your answer is 15.68094 kJ/g, just write 15.68.
