The more oxygen molecules that collide per second with the fuel, the faster the combustion reaction is and that’s how it could be so different

Answer:

Different compounds react with oxygen differently – some contain lots of heat energy while others produce a smaller amount. The reaction with the oxygen may happen very quickly or more slowly. Amount: The amount of fuel available to burn is known as the fuel load.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.6 grams of gaseous neon from

Alona [7]

Answer:

Approximately $1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

Look up the specific heat of gaseous neon:

$c = 1.03 \; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Calculate the required temperature change:

$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of a sample of specific heat $C$ . Energy required to raise the temperature of this sample by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ .

For the neon gas in this question:

$c = 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .
$m = 10.6\; \rm g$ .
$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Calculate the energy associated with this temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T \\ &= 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 10.6\; \rm g \times 17.9\; \rm K \\ &\approx 1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .
