Question
Peanuts and peanut oil are organic materials and burn in air. How many burning peanuts does it take to provide the energy to bring a cup of water up to boiling
temperature (100.0 °C) (200. mL of water at 21.0 °C)? To solve this problem, we assume each peanut, with an average mass of 0.69 g, is 47% peanut oil and 17%
starch; the remainder is noncombustible.
We further assume peanut oil is palmitic acid, C16H32 O2, with an enthalpy of formation of -848.4 kJ/mol. Starch is a long chain of C6H10O5 units, each unit
having an enthalpy of formation of -960. kJ.
