Enthalpy of Formation

Calcium metal burns according to the following equation: Ca(s) + 1/2 O2(g) --> CaO (s).
When 1.00 g of calcium metal is burned in a constant pressure calorimeter with a heat capacity of 15.20 kJ/K, the temperature increases by 1.04 degrees Celcius. Calculate the enthalpy of formation of calcium oxide. Compare this answer with -635.09 kJ/mol.
