In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of a gas(hydrocarbon) with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0 K. The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0 K to 298.45 K due to the combustion process. Given that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.5 kJ K-1, If the value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas is -A kJmol-1, Report the value of A by rounding off to two significant figures,  (R=8.314 J/K/mol)
