Calculate the change in enthalpy associated with the combustion of 322 g of ethanol. C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)⟶2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)ΔH∘c=−1366.8kJ/mol

Respuesta :

Answer: The change in enthalpy associated with the combustion of 322 g of ethanol is [tex]-9567.6kJ[/tex]

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Moles}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{322g}{46g/mol}=7moles[/tex]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]C_2H_5OH(l)+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(l)[/tex] [tex]\Delta H=-1366.8kJ/mol[/tex]

Given :

Energy released when 1 mole of ethanol is combusted = 1366.8 J

Thus Energy released when 7 moles of ethanol is combusted =[tex]\frac{1366.8}{1}\times 7=9567.6kJ[/tex]

Thus the change in enthalpy associated with the combustion of 322 g of ethanol is [tex]-9567.6kJ[/tex]

The  change in enthalpy associated with the combustion is -9567.6KJ

Calculation of   change in enthalpy:

Since there is 322g of ethanol

Also, there is the chemical equation i.e.

C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)⟶2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)ΔH∘c=−1366.8kJ/mol

So, the change should be

= -1366.8kJ *7/1

= -9567.6KJ

Since Energy released at the time when 1 mole of ethanol is combusted = 1366.8 J

So, here Energy released when 7 moles of ethanol is combusted
