Heat produced = -13588.956 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The reaction of combustion of Methane
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ
271 g of CH4
Required
Heat produced
Solution
mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0
mol = mass : MW
mol = 271 : 16
mol = 16.9375
So Heat produced :
= mol x ΔH°rxn
= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ
Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.
