Question

If the heat of combustion for a specific compound is −1320.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 30.55 g/mol, how many grams of this compound must you burn to release 617.30 kJ of heat?

Answer 1

14.297 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

1 mo of the compound requires 1320.0 kJ

From the molar mass;

1 ml of the compound weighs 30.55g

How many grams requires 617.30kJ?

1 ml = 1320

x mol = 617.30

x = 617.30 / 1320

x = 0.468 mol

But 1 mol = 30.55

0.468 mol = x

x = 14.297 g
