Question
1. Melted methane was ignited and used to heat water in a thin metal container. After a short period of time, the
methane was extinguished and final measurements were made.
= 7.52 g
= 7.20 g
Mass of methane before burning
Mass of methane after burning
Mass of water in container
Initial temperature of water
Final temperature of water
= 140.0 g
= 10.0°C
= 32.0°C
a) Using this data, calculate the heat of combustion of methane in kJ/mol. Assume that all the heat from the
methane was absorbed by the water
b) Write the thermochemical equation for the complete combustion of methane.
