Gram for gram, fats in food have much more chemical energy than sugar. One component of fat is stearic acid, C18H36O2. When a sa

mple of 1.02 g of stearic acid was burned completely in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rose by 4.26oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 9.43 kJ/oC. Calculate the molar heat of combustion of stearic acid in kilojoules per mole.

Answer:

\mathbf{-1.12 \times 10^4 \ kJ/mol}

Explanation:

Given that:

mass (m) of the sample = 1.02 g

number of moles of stearic acid  =\dfrac{mass}{molar mass}

= \dfrac{1.02 \ g}{284.49 \ g/mol} \\ \\ = 0.000358 \ moles

The change in temp. \Delta T = 4.26^0 \ C

heat capacity of the calorimeter (c) = 9.43 kJ/° C

Thus, heat due to reaction = cΔT

= 9.43 kJ/° C × 4.26° C

= 40.17 kJ

The heat in kJ/mol = \dfrac{40.17 \ kJ}{0.00358 \ mol}

= 11204.23 kJ/mol

= 1.12 × 10⁴ kJ/mol

As a result of  the reaction is exothermic, the heat reaction of the  combustion is:

\mathbf{-1.12 \times 10^4 \ kJ/mol}

Two glasses of water have the same thermal energy. Must they have the same temperature? Explain
ira [324]
Even if two samples of matter have the same temperature, it does not necessarily mean they have the same total energy. The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.

Ber [7]
I believe the correct answer true. According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction the total starting mass of all the reactants equals the total final mass of all the products. This law states that mass cannot be created or be destroyed. So, the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that goes out the process.  This is true for chemical reactions and physical processes. It is Antoine Lavoisier who described this and is a basic principle used in physics and in chemistry. Mass, unlike energy, cannot be transformed to any form so however the transformation happens the mass should be constant.
