Answer:
3000 kJ/kg
Explanation:
The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.
It is given by:
where
Q is the amount of heat released
m is the mass of the fuel
In this problem, we have:
m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel
is the amount of heat released
Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:
Explanation:
1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.
The given correct thermochemical reactions are:
2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:
In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.
