Answer:
a) 4869 kj will be released
b) 43.86 g of octane
Explanation:
The heat of combustion is the amount of heat released when one mole of a substance reacts with enough oxygen
since the heat of combustion is per mol of combustible substancewjat we are required to do in this problem is calculate number moles in the reactions although in a different manner
a) MW C3H6O = 158 g/ mol
mol C3H6O = 158 g × 1 mol/ 58.08 g
= 2.72 - 1790 kj / mol ×2.72 mol = 4869 kj
b) Here we are asked the mass of octane to produce 1950 kj of heat knowing that per mole of octane we get 5074.1 kj then
1 mol / 5074.1kj × 1950 kj= 0.384 mol
mass C8H18 = 0.384 mol × 114.23 g/ mol = 43.86 g
