Question

What is the experimental molar heat of combustion?

Answer 1

The molar heat of combustion is illustrated as the heat discharged when one mole of the component is burnt by reacting with oxygen gas to provide carbon dioxide and water. It is determined in kJ per mole. This heat of energy can be negative or positive. In case if the enthalpy is negative than the reaction is considered as an exothermic reaction, and if the enthalpy is positive than the reaction is considered as an endothermic reaction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Molar heat combustion:

Molar heat of combustion is defined as heat released when 1 mole of substance is burnt under the action of oxygen gas to give water and carbon-dioxide.It is measured in kiloJoules (kJ) per mole.This heat of energy can be positive or negative.

• If the enthalpy is positive than the reaction is said to be an endothermic reaction.
• If the enthalpy is negative than the reaction is said to be an exothermic reaction.
