The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
How much heat is produced when 24.8 g of is burned in excess oxygen gas
Given: ΔH= −802 kJ.
Answer: 1243.1 kJ
Explanation:
Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.
Given :
Amount of heat released on combustion of 1 mole of methane = 802 kJ kJ/mol
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number of particles.
1 mole of weighs = 16 g
Thus we can say:
16 g of on combustion releases heat = 802 kJ
Thus 24.8 g of on combustion releases =
Thus heat released when 24.8 g of methane is burned in excess oxygen gas is 1243.1 kJ
