gas = methane
burn with O₂ (oxygen)
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
Heat produced = -13588.956 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The reaction of combustion of Methane
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ
271 g of CH4
Required
Heat produced
Solution
mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0
mol = mass : MW
mol = 271 : 16
mol = 16.9375
So Heat produced :
= mol x ΔH°rxn
= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ
The answer is 25 grams for this question
