Chapter 9, Problem 9.69SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of heat release in burning of nitromethane in presence of oxygen have to determine.

Concept introduction:

The reaction or phase transition in which heat escape from the system to the surroundings are termed as exothermic, while the process in which the heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings is called endothermic.

Given: The burning reaction of 100.0 g of nitromethaneas per the reaction

  $4C{H}_{3}N{O}_2(l)+\text{ 7}{O}_2(g)\to 4C{O}_2(g)+\text{ 6}{H}_{2}O(g)+4N{O}_2\text{(g) }\Delta H^0=\text{- 2441}\text{.6 k J}$

To determine:

The heat release on the combustion of nitromethane.
