(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 2.5 mol of carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion of any fuel takes place in the presence of oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water. It is an exothermic reaction or heat is released in the process. Enthalpy change of combustion can be defined as difference of formation energies between the products and reactants. In an endothermic reaction, energy is required whereas in exothermic reactions, energy is released.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 3.0 mol of O2 react in carbon combustion reaction needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion of any fuel takes place in the presence of oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water. It is an exothermic reaction or heat is released in the process. Enthalpy change of combustion can be defined as difference of formation energies between the products and reactants. In an endothermic reaction, energy is required whereas in exothermic reactions, energy is released.
(c)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 25.0g of C react in carbon combustion reaction needs to be determined.
