Try Again Row 3: Your answer is wrong. In addition to checking your math, check that you used the right data and DID NOT round any intermediate calculations. A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1100. g of water (see sketch at right). First, a 7.000 g tablet of benzoic acid (CH₂CO₂H) is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 15.00 °C to 53.26 °C over a time of 12.3 minutes. Next, 5.420 g of acetylene (C₂H₂) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 15.00 °C to 74.42 °C. Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or…
What is the enthalpy change when 2.00 mol of oxygen (O2) react? C12H22O11(s) + 12 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 11 H2O(l) ΔH = -5644 kJ
The enthalpy of combustion of isooctane (C8H18), one of the many hydrocarbons in gasoline is 5.45 × 103 kJ/mol. Calculate the enthalpy change per gram of isooctane and per liter of isooctane (d = 0.688 g/mL).
A 3.59°C increase in temperature occurs when a 0.232 g sample of benzoic acid (C7H6O2) is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. A 1.81 °C increase in temperature occurs when a 0.303 g sample of citric acid (C6H8O7) is combusted in the same bomb calorimeter. The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is -26.37 kJ/g. What is the molar heat of combustion of citric acid? Reminder: Any heats of combustion will be negative since these are exothermic reactions.
What is the enthalpy of reaction, ΔHrxn for the reaction of nitrogen gas with oxygen gas to produce NO2(g), based on the following information? These reactions are not at standard state or at 298 K.

The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2)(26.04 g/mol) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole of acetylene releases 1251 kJ of heat, what mass of acetylene is needed to cut through a piece of steel if the process requires 22.5 × 104 kJ of heat? 2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ΔH = –2502 kJ
