Enthalpy of Combustion
Question

When 9.2g ethanol was burnt in bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen 320 kJ heat is liberated. Heat of combustion of ethanol at constant volume and temperature (in kJ) is

Easy
Solution

Bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat of reaction at constant volume and temperature
Gram Mol.wt.of ethanol = 46 gm
 

Heat\; of\; combustion =\large \ - \frac{{46}}{{9.2}} \times 320\


                                                                                                                      H = -1600 KJ
