The heat of the reaction, in kJ, when 4.18 g of the hydrocarbon are combusted 775.70 kJ.
The heat energy is given as :
q = m c ΔT + Ccal ΔT
q = ( 974 g× 4.184 ×6.9) + 624 ×6.9
q = 32424.59 J
moles of hydrocarbon = 0.0418 mol
heat of combustion = 32424.59 J / 0.0418 mol
= 775707.89 J
= 775.70 kJ
Thus, A 4.18 g sample of a hydrocarbon is combusted in a bomb calorimeter that contains 974 g of water. the temperature of the water increases by 6.9 °C when the hydrocarbon is combusted. the calorimeter constant for the calorimeter was determined to be 624 J/°C. what is the heat of the reaction is 775.70 kJ.
