What is the MOLAR heat of combustion of methane(CH₄) if 64.00g of methane are burned to heat 75.0 ml of water from 25.00°C to 95.00°C?(Water heat capacity-4.184 J/g°C)

-5.51 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat required to heat the water.

We use the following expression.

where,

The average density of water is 1 g/mL, so 75.0 mL ≅ 75.0 g.

Step 2: Calculate the heat released by the methane

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion of methane (Qc) and the heat absorbed by the water (Qw) is zero

Qc + Qw = 0

Qc = -Qw = -22.0 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the molar heat of combustion of methane.

The molar mass of methane is 16.04 g/mol. We use this data to find the molar heat of combustion of methane, considering that 22.0 kJ are released by the combustion of 64.00 g of methane.
