Answer:
Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g
Methane: -55kJ/g
The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.
Qc + Qb = 0
Qc = -Qb [1]
We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.
Q = C . ΔT
where,
C is the heat capacity
ΔT is the change in the temperature
<h3>Hydrogen</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ
The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:
<h3>Methane</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ
The heat released per gram of methane is:
Reactant C is the limiting reactant in this scenario.
Explanation:
The reactant in the balanced chemical reaction which gives the smaller amount or moles of product is the limiting reagent.
Balanced chemical reaction is:
A + 2B + 3C → 2D + E
number of moles
A = 0.50 mole
B = 0.60 moles
C = 0.90 moles
Taking A as the reactant
1 mole of A reacted to form 2 moles of D
0.50 moles of A will produce 
= 
thus 0.50 moles of A will produce 1 mole of D
Taking B as the reactant
2 moles of B reacted to form 2 moles of D
0.60 moles of B reacted to form x moles of D
= 
x = 2 moles of D is produced.
Taking C as the reactant:
3 moles of C reacted to form 2 moles of D
O.9 moles of C reacted to form x moles of D
= 
= 0.60 moles of D is formed.
Thus C is the limiting reagent in the given reaction as it produces smallest mass of product.
