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

What happens to a reducing agent during a redox reaction?
Nuetrik [128]
Reducing agent is an compound/atom, that loses an electron and is oxidized.

0.........+I.............+II............0
Ca + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + H₂

Calcium is oxidized --- it's reducing agent (reductant).
Hydrogen is reduced --- HCl is oxidizing agent.

A bicycle tire is filled with air to a pressure of 100. psi at a temperature of 19C. Riding the bike on asphalt on a hot day inc
Zigmanuir [339]

Considering the direct relationship between pressure and temperature, the new pressure in the bicycle tire would be 63.01 psi

<h3>Gas law</h3>

The general gas laws is given by:

  P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature, P2 = final pressure, V2 = final volume, and T2 = final temperature.

In this case, P1 = 100 psi, V1 = 1, T1 = 19+273 = 292, P2 = ?, V2 = 1.4, T2 = 58+273 = 331

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

        = 100x1x292/331x1.4

                   = 63.01 psi
