The heat of combustion of ethanol into carbon dioxides and water is –327 kcal at constant pressure. The heat evolved (in cal) at constant volume and 27°C (if all gases behave ideally) is (R = 2 cal mol–1 K–1)

Answer»

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Δng = 2 – 3 = –1

ΔcH = ΔcU + (Δng) RT

ΔcH = ΔcU – RT

ΔcU = ΔcH + RT

= –327 × 103 + 2 × 300

= –326400 cal.

Heat evolved

= 326400 cal.
