Ethanol, C2H6O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of hexane, C6H14, is 995.0 kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 473 grams of hexane ?
a) Combustion of C3H18 (1) forms water and carbon dioxide. Using the data given, calculate the amount of heat released if 100 g of C8H18 (I) is completely burnt. H2(g) + ½ O2 (g) → H2O (1) AH1= -286 kJ / mol C (s) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g) AH2= -392 kJ / mol 8C (s) + 9H2 (g) → C3H18 (1) AH3= -250 kJ / mol
An experiment was performed to determine the heat capacity of a coffee cup calorimeter. The calorimeter contained 90.0 g of water at a temperature of 21.3 °C. 105.0 g of water at a temperature of 50.2 °C were poured into the calorimeter and the contents of the calorimeter were stirred The final temperature of the water and the calorimeter was 35.6 °C.

When sulfuric acid dissolves in water, a great deal of heat is given off. The enthalpy change for this process is called the enthalpy of solution. To measure it, 175.0 g of water was placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter and chilled to 10.0 °C. Then 49.0 g of pure sulfuric acid, also at 10.0 °C, was added, and the mixture was quickly stirred with a thermometer. The temperature rose rapidly to 14.9 °C. Assume that the specific heat capacity of the resulting sulfuric acid solution is 4.19 J/g °C. Calculate the quantity of thermal energy transferred, Q, for the formation of this solution, and calculate the molar enthalpy of solution in kilojoules per mole of H₂SO4.
