Answer : The correct option is, (B) -5448 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat required by water.

q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat required by water = ?

m = mass of water = 250 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g.K

T_1 = initial temperature of water = 293.0 K

T_2 = final temperature of water = 371.2 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=250g\times 4.18J/g.K\times (371.2-293.0)K

q=81719J

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of combustion of octane.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy of combustion of octane = ?

q = heat released = -81719 J

n = moles of octane = 0.015 moles

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta H=\frac{-81719J}{0.015mole}

\Delta H=-5447933.333J/mol=-5447.9kJ/mol\approx -5448kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of octane is -5448 kJ/mol.

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?
Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means 

        Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

                     =   (2.5 A)  x  (2.4 ohms)

                     =       6 volts .
