When 10 ~g of methane is completely burnt in oxygen, the heat evolved is 560 ~kJ . What is the heat of combustion (in kJ mol ⁻¹ ) of methane?
Options
- A-1120
- B-968
- C-896
- D-560
Correct answer
C. -896
Step-by-step solution
CH ₄+2 O ₂ CO ₂+2 H ₂ O 10 ~g H=-560 ~kJ (12+4=16) g=1 ~mole The heat of combustion of 10 ~g CH ₄=-560 ~kJ So, the heat of combustion of 16 ~g CH ₄= -560 10 16=-896 ~kJ / mol
