Question

using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6). the molar mass of benzene is 78.11 g/mol. 2 c6h6(l) 15 o2(g) → 12 co2(g) 6 h2o(g) δh°rxn

Answer 1

the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6) is ΔH = -976.5 kJ

There are two moles of benzene involved in the process (C6H6). Since the heat of this reaction is -6278 kJ, the burning of 2 moles of benzene will result in a heat loss of 6278 kJ. This reaction is exothermic.

Enthalpy, or the value of H, is a unit of measurement for heat that relies on the amount of matter present (number of moles).

Thus, 24.3 g of benzene contains:

n = mass/molar mass, where n = 24.3/78.11, and n = 0.311 moles.

2 moles = 6278 kJ

0.311 moles =x

By the straightforward direct three rule:

2x = -1953.08 x = -976.5 kJ
