How much heat is released when 75 g of octane is burned completely if the enthalpy of combustion is -5,500 kJ/mol C8H18

Respuesta :

Answer : The heat released during the reaction is [tex]-8.4\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of moles of octane [tex](C_8H_{18})[/tex].

[tex]\text{Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_8H_{18}}{\text{Molar mass of }C_8H_{18}}[/tex]

Molar mass of [tex]C_8H_{18}[/tex] = 114 g/mole

[tex]\text{Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{75g}{114g/mole}=0.658mole[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the heat released during the reaction.

[tex]\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}[/tex]

or,

[tex]q=\Delta H\times n[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta H[/tex] = enthalpy change = -5500 kJ/mol

q = heat released = ?

n = number of moles of [tex]C_8H_{18}[/tex] = 0.658 mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]q=(-5500kJ/mol)\times (0.658mol)=-8358.66kJ=-8.4\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

Therefore, the heat released during the reaction is [tex]-8.4\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

The quantity of heat released when the octane is burned completely is -3,613.5 Joules.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of octane = 75 grams
  • Enthalpy of combustion = -5,500 kJ/mol

To find the quantity of heat released when the octane is burned completely:

First of all, we would determine the number of moles of octane in this chemical reaction.

[tex]Number\;of\;moles \;(C_8H_{18})= \frac{Mass\; of\;octane}{Molar\;mass\;of\;octane}[/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex]Number\;of\;moles \;(C_8H_{18})= \frac{75}{114.23}[/tex]

Number of moles ([tex]C_8H_{18}[/tex]) = 0.657 moles.

Now, we can find the quantity of heat released when the octane is burned completely:

1 mole of octane = -5,500 kJ/mol

0.657 mole of octane = X kJ/mol

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]X = -5500[/tex] × [tex]0.657[/tex]

X = -3,613.5 Joules.
