Unfortunately, you failed to include the table 1 from which the molar heat capacity of aluminum could have been obtained. However, as a general rule, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a certain substance by certain degrees is calculated through the equation,
H = mcpdT
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific heat capacity, and dT is change in temperature. From a reliable source, cp for aluminum is equal to 0.215 cal/g°C. Substituting this to the equation,
H = (260.5 g)(0.215 cal/g°C)(125°C - 0)
H = 7000.94 cal
Hydrocarbons. They usually burn. In fact, I can't think of one that does not.
