Question

Heat capacity of water is 18 cal-degree-1-mol-1. The quantity of heat needed to rise temperature of 18g water by 0.2oC is X cal. Then amount of CH4(g) to be burnt to produce X cal heat is
(CH4+2O2 →CO2+2H2O, ΔH= –200K.Cal)

Moderate
Solution

q =m CpΔT

=\frac{{18}}{{18}}\; \times \;18\; \times \;0.2\


   


  = 3.6 cal
16gm -------200Kcal
?      -------3.6 x 10-3 Kcal
 

\large =\16 \times \frac{{3.6}}{{2000}} \times {10^{ - 3}}\

 


 

 

= 288 x 10-6gm
= 0.288 mg
