Answer:
1384 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:
Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J
Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.
We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:
(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol
We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)
(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol
According to what is known about chemical equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle, when you increase the amount of the reactants, the reaction will be moved to the products, this is because, the most reactants we have the most products we can produce.
From the given choices, the one that goes according to this reason is the third one: The volume of water vapor increases.
Bonds between atoms break and new ones form and energy is either given out or taken in
