Enthalpy of combustion -

The amount of Enthalpy changes when 1 mole of a substance is completely burnt in excess of Oxygen

- wherein

CO+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}\rightarrow CO_{2};\;\;\;\Delta H=-68.3\;kcal

Heat of Reaction -

It is defined as the amount of  Enthalpy change in the reaction for given amount of reaction.

- wherein

C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g);\;\;\;\;\Delta H=-94.3\;kcal 

SOLUTION:

molecular weight of sucrose is 342.3 gm/mol

\\ \textup{heat liberted}=1350 kcal\times\frac{17.1\ gram}{\textup{molecular wt. of sucrose}} \\ \textup{heat liberted}= 67.5 kcal
