Using the following equation for the combustion of octane, calculate the heat associated with the combustion of 100.0 g of octane assuming complete combustion. The molar mass of octane is 114.33 g/mole. The molar mass of oxygen is 31.9988 g/mole.
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O ΔH°rxn = -11018 kJ
A) -535.4 kJ
B) -4819 kJ
C) -602.3 kJ
D) -385.5 kJ
E) -11018 kJ

Answer :

Answer: B) -4819 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for combustion of octane is:

[tex]2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O[/tex]  [tex]\Delta H^0_{rxn}=-11018kJ[/tex]

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

given mass of octane = 100.0 g

Molar mass of octane = 114.33 g/mol

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{100.0g}{114.33g/mol}=0.8747moles[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of octane give heat = -11018 kJ

Thus 0.8747 moles of octane give =[tex]\frac{-11018}{2}\times 0.8747=-4819kJ[/tex]

Thus -4819 kJ of heat is released by 100.0 g of octane assuming complete combustion.

The heat associated with the combustion of 100.0 g of octane, assuming complete combustion, is B) -4819 kJ.

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O ΔH°rxn = -11018 kJ

First, we will convert 100.0 g of octane to moles using its molar mass (114.33 g/mol).

[tex]100.0 g \times \frac{1mol}{114.33g} = 0.8747mol[/tex]

According to the thermochemical equation, 11018 kJ of heat are evolved when 2 moles of octane are combusted. The heat associated with the combustion of 0.8747 moles of octane is:

[tex]0.8747 mol \times \frac{(-11018kJ)}{2mol} = -4819 kJ[/tex]

The heat associated with the combustion of 100.0 g of octane, assuming complete combustion, is B) -4819 kJ.
