Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the enthalpy change of the reaction, we can use the equation:

Enthalpy change = heat capacity × temperature change

From the given information, the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 5.23 kJ/oC, and the temperature change during the combustion of the sample is 7.30 oC.

Enthalpy change = 5.23 kJ/oC × 7.30 oC = 38.019 kJ ≈ 38.2 kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction is approximately 38.2 kJ.

The correct option is (d) 38.2 kJ.

Apologies for the mistake in the previous response.

The enthalpy change of the reaction can be calculated using the equation:

Enthalpy change = heat capacity × temperature change

From the given information, the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 5.23 kJ/oC, and the temperature change during the combustion of the sample is 7.30 oC.

Enthalpy change = 5.23 kJ/oC × 7.30 oC = 38.119 kJ ≈ 38.1 kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction is approximately 38.1 kJ.

The correct option is (d) 38.1 kJ.
