The combustion of toluene has a δerxn of −3.91 × 103kj/mol. when 1.55 g of toluene (c7h8) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.02 ∘c to 37.92 ∘c. find the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter.

The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is .

Explanation:

Given mass of toluene = 1.55 g

Number of moles of Toluene:

Energy required by 0.0168 moles of toluene=

Since heat released on combustion of 0.0168 moles toluene, this heat will get absorbed by the bomb calorimeter ,then (Q) will be:

The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is .

i believe the answer is 5,000
