Answer:
Q (reaction) = -69.7 kJ
Explanation:
Octane reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ---> 16 CO₂ +18 H₂O
This reaction is exothermic in nature. Therefore, the energy is released into the atmosphere. This reaction took place in a calorimeter, there the temperature (T) increases by 10 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/C
The heat (q) of the reaction is calculated as follows:
Q= -cT, where c is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and T is the increase in temperature
q = -(6.97) x (10) = -69.7kJ
<em>Since the heat capacity is given in kilo -joule per degree Celsius, therefore, the mass of octane is not required </em>
