If 3.365 g of ethanol (l) is burnt completely in a bomb calorimeter...
If g of ethanol is burnt completely in a bomb calorimeter at K, the heat produced is kJ. The of ethanol at K is ______ kJ mol. (Nearest integer)
Given: Standard enthalpy for combustion of graphite kJ mol
Standard enthalpy of formation of water kJ mol
Molar mass in g mol of C, H, O are , and respectively
Given: Standard enthalpy for combustion of graphite kJ mol
Standard enthalpy of formation of water kJ mol
Molar mass in g mol of C, H, O are , and respectively
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Molar mass of ethanol () g mol
Number of moles of ethanol burnt, mol
Since the combustion occurs in a bomb calorimeter (constant volume), the heat produced corresponds to the change in internal energy ().
kJ mol
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethanol is:
Change in the number of gaseous moles,
Now, calculating the standard enthalpy of combustion ():
kJ mol
The standard enthalpy of combustion can also be written in terms of enthalpies of formation:
Substituting the given values (note that of is ):
kJ mol
The magnitude is kJ mol kJ mol
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get .
