Question
A volume of 4.0 L of a mixture of ethane and methane gases on complete combustion at 300 K produced 6.0 L of carbon dioxide. Find out the amount of heat evolved on burning 1 L of gaseous mixture. The heats of combustion of ethylene and methane are −1573 and −890 kJ per mole, respectively, at 300 K.
Options
A.4926 kJ
B.50 kJ
C.1231.5 kJ
D.200 kJ
Solution
let C2H6 = xL, then CH4 = (4 – x)L
Volume of CO2 produced, 2x + (4 – x) = 6 ⇒ x = 2
∴ Total heat evolved $= \left( \frac{- 1}{2} \times 1573 + \frac{1}{2} \times 890 \right) \times \frac{1}{0.0821 \times 300} = 50\text{ kJ}$
