Completely reacting 150.0 g of a substance with oxygen releases 395.1 J of energy. How much energy would be released if 450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen?

Respuesta :

To solve this problem we just need to use the rule of three:
150g..................395.1J
450g................xJ

x = 450*395.1/150 = 1185,3J

450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen will produce 1.1853 kJ(kiloJoule)

1.1853 kJ of energy is released by the 450.0 g of the given substance.

How to calculate the energy released?

When energy is released during the reaction it is called an exothermic reaction.

Given here,

150 g of substance release 395.1 J of energy,

450 g of substance release [tex]x[/tex] J of energy?

So,

[tex]x = \dfrac {450 \times 395.1 }{150 }\\\\x = 1185.3 {\rm \ J \ \ \ \ \ or }\\\\x = 1.185 \rm \ kJ[/tex]

Therefore, 1.1853 kJ of energy is released by the 450.0 g of the given substance.
