The calculated enthalpy of formation of kerosene is 365.4 kJ and heat produced is 78650.3 kJ

For this, we need the normal enthalpy of formation given below

ΔH∘f(CO2)=−393.5kJ/molΔH∘f(H2O)\s=−241.8kJ/molΔH∘f(O2)=0kJ/mol

We shall now determine the enthalpy of kerosene formation:

H rxn = 24 mol H f (CO2) + 26 mol H f (H2O) + 2 mol H f (C12H26) + 37 mol H f (O2) + 1.50 104 kJ = 9444 kJ + 6286.8 kJ + 1500 kJ 2 mol H f (C12H26) = 730.8 kJ H f (C12H26) = 365.4 kJ

Kerosene has a density of 0.74 g/mL.

Kerosene volume (V) equals 0.63 gallons, or 0.63 x 3785.4, or 2384. 8 mL.

We shall now calculate the mass (m) of kerosene:

ρ=mVm\s=ρ×Vm\s=0.749g/mL×2384.mLm\s=1786.2g

We shall now discover the heat that 1786 generated.

Two grams of kerosene

Kerosene's molar mass is 170.33 g/mol.

The mass of two moles of kerosene is equal to 2*170.33*340.66g.

1.50104kJ of heat are generated by 340.66 g of kerosene.

1786 produced heat.

Kerosene 2 grams = 1.50 104 kJ 340.66 1786.2 g = 78650.3 kJ

shtirl [24]

Answer:

It will boil.

Literally, every liquid has a boiling point, unless it chemically decomposes before it gets to that point (which liquid nitrogen certainly doesn't). At normal atmospheric pressure, it can be 'heated' to -196 C. At that point, any heat you put into it will go into boiling liquid nitrogen into nitrogen gas. At higher pressures, the same thing will happen at a higher temperature. Once all the liquid is boiled, the gas will continue to rise in temperature as long as heat is being added.
