The combustion of toluene has a Arxn of -3.91 x 10³ kJ/mol. When 1.30 g of toluene (C7Hs) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 22.80 °C to 36.11 °C. Find the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter. Express your answer using three significant figures. Ccal = [-] ΑΣΦ 3 → ? kJ/°C

Question
The combustion of toluene has a \(\Delta E_{\text{rxn}}\) of \(-3.91 \times 10^3\) kJ/mol. When 1.30 g of toluene (\(C_7H_8\)) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 22.80 °C to 36.11 °C. Find the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter. **Express your answer using three significant figures.** \[ C_{\text{cal}} = \, \, \, \, \, \] kJ/°C This question includes a mathematical input field for the solution.
