Question

A sample of ethanol (C2H6O) has a mass of 0.2301 g. Complete combustion of this sample causes the temperature of a bomb calorimeter to increase by 1.33°C. The calorimeter has a mass of 2.000 kg and a specific heat of 2.45 J/g•°C. How many moles of ethanol are present in the sample?

Answer 2

Answer:  $4.994\times 10^{-3}$  moles

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass , occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ethanol = 0.2301

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles of ethanol}=\frac{0.2301g}{46.07g/mol}=4.994\times 10^{-3}$

Thus there are $4.994\times 10^{-3}$  moles of ethanol are present in the sample.
