Standard Enthalpies of Reaction
Not what you're looking for?
50 g of C16H34 are burned with insufficient oxygen for complete combustion to CO2.
C16H34(s) + 16.5 O2(g) -> 16 CO(g) + 17 H2O(l) and some of the reaction forms CO2 and H2O(l) in the reaction C16H34(s) + 24.5 O2(g) -> 19CO2(g) + 17H2O(l)
(P=1 bar, T=298.15K, heat change = -1945.2 kJ)
1. Compute percent C16H34 that reacted to form CO(g) in the process.
2. If experiment carried out at constant V, how much heat would have been released?
