Question

Given the heat change per mole for the combustion of methanol (-726 kJ/mol), predict the heat change that would occur if 0.200 mol of methanol undergoes the same reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

-145.2kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy is an extensive property as its value depends on the amount of substance present in the system.

If the enthalpy for one mole of methanol = -726 kJ/mol;

The Enthalpy for 0.2 mol is given as;

Enthalpy = 0.200 * 726

Enthalpy = -145.2kJ

It would take -145.2kJ for 0.200 mol of methanol to undego the combustion reaction.
