Answer:
47.9 g of ethanol
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Combustion reactions have been very useful as a source of energy. Ethanol is now burnt for energy purposes as a fuel. Ethanol has even been proposed as a possible alternative to fossil fuels.
Since 1 mole of ethanol when combusted releases 1367 kJ/mol of energy
x moles of ethanol releases 1418 kJ/mol.
x= 1 × 1418 kJ/mol/ 1367 kJ/mol
x= 1.04 moles of ethanol.
Mass of ethanol = number of moles × molar mass
Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol
Mass of ethanol = 1.04 moles × 46.07 g/mol
Mass of ethanol= 47.9 g of ethanol
