A 35.6 g sample of ethanol (C2H5OH) is burned in a bomb

A 35.6 g sample of ethanol (C2H5OH) is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 23.3 kJ/°C. If the temperature rose from 35.0 °C to 76.0 °C, what is the value of AErxn (in kJ/mol ethanol)? C₂H5OH (1) + 3 O₂ (g) → 2 CO₂ (g) + 3 H₂O
