How much energy will be released to the surroundings when 0.100 g of ethanol are combusted?...

How much energy will be released to the surroundings when 0.100 g of ethanol are combusted? CH3CH2OH (l) + 302 (g) → 2C02 (g) +3H2O (g)

deltaHrxn = -1235 k.J

Answer #1

CH3CH2OH(l) + 3 O2(g) <==== >2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g) ΔH = -1235 k.J

One mole of ethanol combusted and produces -1235 k.J of heat

Mass of ethanol = 0.1 g

Molar mass of ethanol =  46.07 g/mol

Moles of ethanol = 0.1 g / 46.07 g/mol =  0.0021706 Moles

Amount of heat released to the surroundings =  0.0021706 Mole x  1235 kJ /mole = 2.68 kJ

Hence 2.68 kJ of heat will be released to the surroundings when 0.100 g of ethanol are combusted
