Question

The combustion of 14 grams of co according to the reaction co(g) ½o2(g) co2(g) 67.6 kcal gives off how much heat?

Answer 1

The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide is expressed co(g)+ ½o2(g) → co2(g). The heat of combustion is 67.6 kcal per mole CO. We are given with 14 grams CO. Convert this to mole equal to 0.5 mole. Hence the total heat is 33.8 kcal.
