Heat of combustion of methane is -800 ~kJ . What is the heat of combustion for 4 10⁻⁴ ~kg of methane?
Options
- A-800 ~kJ
- B-3.2 10⁴ ~kJ
- C-20 ~kJ
- D-1600 ~kJ
Correct answer
C. -20 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
CH ₄+2 O ₂ CO ₂+2 H ₂ O ; H_ c =-800 ~kJ 16 ~g Heat of combustion of 16 10⁻³ ~kg CH ₄=-800 ~kJ Heat of combustion of 4 10⁻⁴ ~kg CH ₄ will be array l =- 800 4 10⁻⁴ 16 10⁻³ =-20 ~kJ array
