Question
On a 14 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 2.0kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25°C. You have available canisters of compressed butane (C4H10)fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 50.g of butane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring?
The standard heat of formation of butane at 25°C is −125.7/kJmol.

- Gram for gram, fats in food have much more chemical energy than sugar. One component of fat is stearic acid, C18H36O2. When a sample of 1.02 g of stearicd acid was burned completely in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rose by 4.26 oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 9.43 kJ/oC. Calculate the molar heat of combustion of stearic acid in kilojoules per mole. answer: (-11189 kJ/mol)arrow_forwardOn a 7 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 2.0 kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25 °C. You have available canisters of compressed propane (C,H) fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 25. g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25 °C is – 103.85 kJ/mol.

- 5. The molar mass of enthalpy of combustion of glucose, C6H1206 is -2803 kJ. A mass of 1.00 g glucose is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. If the calorimeter contains 875 g H20 and the bomb has a heat capacity of 475 J°C1, what is the temperature increase of the bomb calorimeter? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J K-1 g1 and the molar mass of glucose is 180.2 g mol-1.arrow_forwardA bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.461-g sample of 2-naphthylacetic acid (C12H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1150. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.20 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g1 oC-1. The combustion enthalpy is -5779 kJ/mol 2-naphthylacetic acid. C12H1002(s) + 27/2 02(g) –→12 CO2(g) + 5 H20(1) A,H° -5779 kJ/mol Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter= orc J/Carrow_forward1.) The molar heat of combustion of octane to form carbon dioxide and water vapour is ─5470.1kJ/mol. Using this value, determine the mass of octane required to increase the temperature of 1.50 L of water from 22.0°C to 85.6°C. 2.) A simple calorimeter is filled with 250g of water initially at 25.0°C. A mass of 0.500g of benzene is completely burned to heat the water in the calorimeter. The highest temperature of the calorimeter water is measured at 44.0°C. What is the experimental value of the molar enthalpy of combustion of benzene?arrow_forward

The air temperature will average 25 °C. You have available canisters of compressed propane (C₂Hg) fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 50. g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25 °C is -103.8 kJ/mol.

Using standard enthalpies of formation, calculate the quantity of heat produced, in kJ, when 25 liters of liquid propane is completely combusted in air. (The density of liquid propane is 582 kg/m3.) Note: The propane is in the condensed liquid state in the tank but changes to the gas phase as it is released. Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction assuming all reactants and products are in the gas phase.arrow_forward
