A 1.8 g sample of octane C8H18 was burned in a bomb calorimeter and the temperature of 100 g of water increased from 21.36 C to

28.78 C. Heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of octane? Per mole of octane?

Answer:

HEAT OF COMBUSTION PER GRAM OF OCTANE IS 1723.08 J OR 1.72 KJ/G OF HEAT

HEAT OFF COMBUSTION PER MOLE OF OCTANE IS 196.4 KJ/ MOL OF HEAT

Explanation:

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

In other words, 3101.56 J of heat was evolved from the reaction of 1.8 g octane with water.

Heat of combustion of octane per gram:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 g of octane will produce ( 3101.56 * 1 / 1.8)

= 1723.08 J of heat

So, heat of combustion of octane per gram is 1723.08 J

Heat of combustion per mole:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 mole of octane will produce X J of heat

1 mole of octane = 114 g/ mol of octane

So we have:

1.8 g of octane = 3101.56 J

114 g of octane = (3101.56 * 114 / 1.8) J of heat

= 196 432.13 J

= 196. 4 kJ of heat

The heat of combustion of octane per mole is 196.4 kJ /mol.

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

A __________ has distinct properties and composition that never vary.
erik [133]
<h2>Answer </h2>

Matter

<u>Explanation </u>

A matter has distinct properties and composition that never vary. The matter is anything which possesses mass and occupies space. The matter has different characteristics and a distribution that does not change from unit to unit. Materials which cannot be disintegrated into simpler materials. Each is made of only one kind of atom in subatomic level. For example, a chair, table, and similar everything that has mass and occupies space is matter.
