The thermochemical equation shows the combustion of carbon in oxygen. How many moles of carbon, C must be burnt to produce 196.5 kJ of heat?

Given thermochemical equation; C(s) + O2(g) -> CO2(g) = -393 kJ mol ‐¹

0.5 moles OF CARBON WILL BE BURNT SHOULD 196.5 kJ OF HEAT IS LIBERATED IN THE REACTION.

Explanation:

The standard heat of combustion of a substance is the heat evolved when one mole of the substance is burned completely in oxygen under standard conditions.

From the reaction, -393kJ of heat is required to burn 1 mole of Carbon completely in oxygen.

C(s) + O2 (g) > CO2(g)        -393 kJ mol^-1

Should 196.5 kJ of heat was evolved by the reaction, the number of moles of carbon to be produced will be x moles;

-393 kJmol^-1 of heat was required to burn 1 mole of Carbon

196.5 kJ/mol of heat will burn x moles of carbon.

x = ( 196.5 * 1 / -393)

x = -0.5 moles

0.5 moles of carbon will be burnt when 196.5 kJ of heat is liberated

answer; /// the amount of material dissolved in a measure of liquid(concentration) the above statement is (true); /// good luck
