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. |
