The enthalpy of combustion of methane at 25^ C is 890 ~kJ . The heat liberated when 3.2 ~g of methane is burnt in air is
Options
- A-890 ~kJ
- B178 ~kJ
- C445 ~kJ
- D278 ~kJ
Correct answer
B. 178 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
Heat liberated on combustion of 16 ~g CH ₄ is 890 ~kJ . Heat liberation from 3.2 ~g methane aligned &= 3.2 16 890= 890 5 &=178 ~kJ aligned
