Aluminum reacts with hydrochloric acid, but copper does not react with the acid. When a mixture of aluminum and copper having a mass of 0.3579 grams is combined with excess hydrochloric acid, 315.50 mL of hydrogen gas, measured over water, is generated. The temperature at the time of collection is 27.3 oC (vapor pressure of water at 27.3 oC = 27.214 torr), and the total pressure in the collection container is 764.1 torr. Determine the mass percentage of aluminum in the original mixture.
I've pretty much got my chem exam down for tomorrow, but I really need guidance for this question. Please show work and explain what you did (doesn't have to be so detailed).

A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.337-g sample of bisphenol A (C15H16O2) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1040. g of water. The temperature increases from 25.90 °C to 28.10 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-1°C-1. The molar heat of combustion is −7821 kJ per mole of bisphenol A. C15H16O2(s) + 18 O2(g) 15 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(l) + Energy Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/°C
