The fat C57H104O6 (s) is metabolized via the following reaction.
calculate the energy (KJ) liberated when 1g of this fat reacts.
C57H104O6(s)+80O2(g)→57CO2(g)+52H2O(l)
Given the enthalpies of formation:
ΔH0f(C57H104O6,s)=−70870 kJ/mol
ΔH0f(H2O,l)=−285.8 kJ/mol
ΔH0f(CO2,g)=−393.5 kJ/mol
- 37.98
ΔH0f =57×(−393.5)+52×(−285.8)−(−70870)=−33578.9 kJ/mol=−33578.9884=−37.98 KJ
