When 2.00 g of methane are burned in a bomb calorimeter, the change in temperature is 3.08°C. The heat capacity of the calorimet

er is 2.68 kJ/°C. The molar mass of methane is 16.042 g/mol. What is the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance?

Answer:

The approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

q=c\times \Delta T

where,

q = Heat gained = ?

c = Specific heat = 2.68 kJ/^oC

ΔT =  The change in temperature = 3.08°C

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

q=2.68 kJ/^oC\times 3.08^oC

q=8.2544 kJ

Now we have to calculate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance :

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H_{comb} = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 8.2544kJ

n = number of moles methane = \frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{\text{Molar mass of methane }}=\frac{2.00 g}{16.042 g/mol}=0.1247 mole

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{8.2544 kJ}{0.1247 mole}=-66.21 kJ/mole\approx -66 kJ/mole

Therefore,  the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)

Ev = Vallence electron of central atom

Σe = electrons donated from substituents

Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0

charge = charge of the compound

2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)

LP = CF - EP

3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)

4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)

5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton

6. Enjoy
