When 1.14 g of octane (molar mass = 114 g/mol) reacts with excess oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, the temperature of th

e calorimeter increases by 10.0°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/°C. Determine the energy flow, q (reaction).

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>
