Question 41 of 41
Suppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for
cooking. You need to boil 14.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove. What volume of natural gas is
needed to boil the water if only 19.9% of the heat generated goes towards heating the water. Assume the density of methane is
0.668 g/L, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and that the water has an initial temperature of 20.8 °C. Enthalpy of formation
values can be found in this table. Assume that gaseous water is formed in the combustion of methane.
