Heat of Combustion and Enthalpy

The heat of combustion of hexane is 45.6 kj/g. If you burn all of a 1.20 g sample of hexane, and all of the heat is transferred to a pot of water determine the following:

(a)The amount of heat in J, and the sign of the energy change

(b)The amount of heat absorbed in water:

(c) The final temperature of water if there are 250 g of water in the pot, and the intial water temperature is 25.0 degrees Celsius (the heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g*degrees Celsius)
