1.) When 1.550 g of liquid hexane (C6H14) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.87 ºC to 38.13 ºC. Find ?E rxn for the reaction in kJ/mol hexane. The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, determined in a separate experiment, is 5.73 kJ/ºC.
2.) The combustion of toluene has a ?E rxn of -3.91 × 103 kJ/mol. When 1.55 g of toluene (C7H8) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.12 ºC to 37.57 ºC. Find the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter.
