Q.

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]


Ans.

(925)

CH4x+2O2CO2x+2H2O

C2H4+3O22CO2+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
