0.562 g of graphite kept in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atmospheric pressure was burnt according to the equation:
During the reaction, temperature rises from 298 K to 298.89 K. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 20.7 kJ/K. What is the enthalpy change for the above reaction at 298 K and 1 atm?

For the reaction
As the reaction is a combustion reaction that must be an exothermic reaction.
∆H = -18.4 kJ for the combustion of 0.562 g of C (graphite)
For 1 mol of C (graphite),
The enthalpy of combustion of graphite is -392.88 kJ
