1.

It has been found that 221.4 J is needed to heat 30 g of ethanol from 15°C to 18°C. Calculate molar heat capacity of ethanol.

Answer»

Molar heat capacity, cm = Specific heat capacity x molar mass

therefore, cm (ethanol) = 2.46 Jg-1°C-1 x 46 g mol-1

= 113.2 J mol-1°C-1

The molar heat capacity of ethanol is 113.2 J mol-1°C-1

(or 113.2 J mol-1 K-1).
