Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

<u> Step 2:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25  = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 =  41170.56 J

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J  = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol
