The energy from 0.015 moles of octane was used to heat 250 grams of water. The temperature of the water rose from 293.0 K to 371.2 K. What is the enthalpy of combustion of octane? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/K g. A. -5448 kJ/mol
B. 1226 kJ/mol
C. -1226 kJ/mol
D. 293.25 kJ/mol

can you list the answers so i can answer

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
