Q.

0.3 g of ethane undergoes combustion at 27°C in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of calorimeter system (including the water) is found to rise by 0.5°C. The heat evolved during combustion of ethane at constant pressure is ______ kJ mol-1. (Nearest integer) [Given: The heat capacity of the calorimeter system is 20 kJ K-1, R = 8.3 J K-1 mol-1]. Assume ideal gas behaviour. Atomic mass of C and H are 12 and 1 g mol-1 respectively]          [2023]


Ans.

(1006)

Moles of ethane = 0.01

Q=CΔT=-1000 kJ/mol

           ΔH=ΔE+ΔngRT

           Δng=-52

          ΔH=-1006 kJ/mol
