Solution

The correct option is A

1366.95kJmol1


C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)+2CO2+3H2O(l)

Amount of heat produced in the bomb calorimeter = ΔU =- 1364.47 kJ mol1

Enthalpy of a combustion reaction is: ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT

Where , Δ U = internal energy

Δng = moles of gas (products -reacants), R = Gas constant=, T = Temperature in K

As per the equation,

Δng=23=1

T=25C=25+273K

T=298K

Thus, ΔH=1364.47+[(1)×8.314×2981000]

ΔH=1364.472.477=1366.947 kJ mol1

Hence, they enthalpy of combustion , ΔcH for the given reaction will be - 1366.95 kJ mol1
