the combustion of butane produces heat by the following reaction :2 C4H10 +13O2 -----8 CO2+10 H2O.DH= -5314 KJ/mol.How many grams of butane must be heated to produce 1x104KJ of heat
Open in App
Solution
Clearly from the stochiometric equation it's clear that 2 moles of butane will produce - 5314 kJ So 1 mole of butane will produce - 5314/2= - 2657kJ of heat
Now. No: of moles of butane required for producing 1x10^4 kJ heat is given as Number of moles = 10^4/2657=3.76 moles of butane.
