calculate (d) the molar enthalpy of combustion (AHcomb; in kJ/mol) of benzoic acid.

I just need to understand how to calculate part d) the molar enthalpy of benzoic acid.

5. A 1.058-g sample of benzoic acid (HC;H;O2) is completely combusted in a "bomb" calorimeter, and the
temperature of the calorimeter increases from 21.50°C to 28.45°C. The calorimeter contains 750.0 g of
water (specific heat = 4.184 J/g.°C) and the "bomb“ has heat capacity of 890. J°C.
Calculate: (a) the amount of heat (in kJ) absorbed by water; (b) the amount of heat (in kJ) absorbed by
the "bomb"; (c) the total amount of heat (in kJ) produced by the combustion of benzoic acid sample, and
(d) the molar enthalpy of combustion (AHcomb; in kJ/mol) of benzoic acid.
(Answer: (a) 21.8 kJ; (b) 6.19 kJ; (c) -28.0 kJ; (d) AH.comb = -3.23 x 10° kJ/mol)
