A gaseous fuel mixture contains 24.2% methane (CH4), 40.5% ethane (C₂H6) and the rest propane (C3H8) by volume. When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.56 L tank, stored at 754 mmHg and 298 K, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is emitted? (Assume that the water produced by the combustion is in the gaseous state.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.

When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 0.79 g of KOH(s) are dissolved in 104.10 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 24.69 to 26.63 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.58 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of KOH(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water. kJ/mol AH dissolution = BrookaCom Cengage Leaming Thermometer Cardboard or Styrofoam lid Nested Styrofoam cups Reaction occurs in solution.
