of methanol must be burned to produce 541 kJ of heat.
Further explanation:
Combustion reaction:
It is the reaction in which the reactant reacts with molecular oxygen to form carbon dioxide and a water molecule. Molecular oxygen acts as the oxidizing agent in these reactions. A large amount of heat is released and therefore combustion reactions are exothermic in nature.
The change in enthalpy that occurs due to the formation of one mole of the compound from its constituent elements is called the standard enthalpy of formation. It is represented by and its units are kJ/mol.
The combustion of methanol occurs as follows:
The value of is -764 kJ/mol. This indicates the heat produced when one mole of methanol is combusted. The negative sign means the heat is released during the process.
The number of moles of methanol required in the given reaction is calculated as follows:
The formula to calculate the mass of methanol is as follows:
...... (1)
The number of moles of is 0.708 mol.
The molar mass of is 32.04 g/mol.
Substitute these values in equation (1).
Therefore the mass of methanol burned is 22.69 g.
