**Combustion of Toluene in a Bomb Calorimeter**In this problem, we explore the combustion of toluene (C₇H₈), which has a heat of reaction of -3.91 x 10³ kJ/mol. When 1.55 g of toluene undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.12°C to 37.57°C. The task is to find the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter.To solve this, we can use the formula:\[ q = C \times \Delta T \]Where:- \( q \) is the heat released.- \( C \) is the heat capacity of the calorimeter.- \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature (37.57°C - 23.12°C).Given:- Heat of reaction = -3.91 x 10³ kJ/mol (energy released per mole).- Mass of toluene = 1.55 g.- Molecular weight of toluene (C₇H₈) = 92.14 g/mol.Calculate the moles of toluene:\[ \text{Moles of toluene} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molecular weight}} = \frac{1.55 \, \text{g}}{92.14 \, \text{g/mol}} \]Next, calculate the total heat released using the moles from above and the heat of reaction.Finally, use the total heat released and the temperature change to find the heat capacity:\[ C = \frac{q}{\Delta T} \]This problem demonstrates the process of calculating thermal properties using experimental data from a calorimetric experiment.
