28.0 L of CO2 is produced on complete combustion of 16.8 L gaseous mixture of ethene and methane at 25°C and 1 atm. Heat evolved during the combustion process is _______ kJ.
Given: ΔHc(CH4)=-900 kJ mol-1
ΔHc(C2H4)=-1400 kJ mol-1 [2023]
(925)
CH4x+2O2→CO2x+2H2O
C2H4+3O2→2CO2+2H2O
16.8-x 2(16.8-x)
x+2(16.8-x)=28
CH4=x=5.6 L
C2H4=16.8-5.6=11.2 L
nCH4=5.622.4=14
nC2H4=11.222.4=12
∴ Heat released=14×900+12×1400
=225+700=925 kJ
