A sample of CH4 of 0.08 g was subjected to combustion at 27oC in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter system was found to be raised by 0.25oC. If heat capacity of calorimeter is 18 kJ, ΔH for combustion of CH4 at 27oC is:
A

Solution
The correct option is B−905 kJ/mole CH4(g)+2O2(g)⟶CO2(g)+2H2O(l)
ΔE= Heat of combustion
= Heat capacity × rise in T×MolarmassMassofcompound
