1.00 `l` sample of a mixture of `CH_(4) (g)` & `O_(2)(g)` measured at `25^(@)C` & `740` torr was allowed to react at constant pressure in a calorimeter which together with its contents had a heat capacity of 1260 Cal/K. The Complete combustion of methane to `CO_(2)` & `H_(2)O` caused a temperature rise, in the Calorimeter, of 0.667 K. What was the mole percent of `CH_(4)` in the original mixture ? `DeltaH_("comb")^(@) (CH_(4))=-215" k Cal mol"^(-1)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `9.82" mol"% CH_(4)`
Total energy released `=1260xx0.667=840.42 cal`
Moles of `CH_(4) =(840.42)/(215.10^(3)) =3.9xx10^(-13)`
Calculate V of `CH_(4)` By applying `PV=nRT`
`V=0.098246 L`
`%` moles of `CH_(4)=(0.098246)/(1) xx100=9.82 %`
