The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air
originally at 21.7°C. Assume that all of the heat produced by the reaction was absorbed by the air
(specific heat = 1.005 J/(g. °C)) in the room.
(c) Determine the final temperature of the air in the room after the combustion.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

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

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

(c) Determine the final temperature of the air in the room after the combustion.

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 =  5.56 ×10⁴  × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴  × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ =  ΔT +  T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C

answer:

technetium is the most reactive. this is followed by silver. the least reactive out of these three elements is strontium.
