The combustion of 0.0222g of isooctane vapor, c8h18(g), at constant pressure raises the temperature of a calorimeter 0.400 degrees c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter and water combined is 2.48kj/degrees c. find the molar heat of combustion of gaseous isooctane.

ΔH = 5102.88 KJ/mol

Explanation:

Qp = ΔH = CpΔT... constant pressure

∴ Cp = 2.48 KJ/°C

∴ ΔT = 0.400°C

∴ Mw C8H18(g) = 114.22 g/mol

∴ mol C8H18(g) = (0.0222 g)×(mol C8H18/114.22 g) = 1.944 E-4 mol C8H18

⇒ ΔH = (2.48 KJ/°C)×(0.400°C) = 0.992 KJ

⇒ ΔH = 0.992 KJ/ 1.944 E-4 mol C8H18

⇒ ΔH = 5102.88 KJ/mol

In reversible reaction chemistry equilibrium is attained when the forward and reverse reactions are taking place at the same rate, thus, the concentrations of reactants and products remain the same. a reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back. in irreversible reactions on the other hand, the reactants react to form the products, which cannot revert back into reactants.
