If the heat of combustion for a specific compound is −1380.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 44.53 g/mol, how many grams of this compound must you burn to release 822.00 kJ of heat?mass:g

Mass = 26.53 g

Explanation:

Heat of combustion = −1380.0 kJ/mol

This means 1 mol of the compound releases 1380 kJ

Molar mass = 44.53 g/mol

This means 1 mol of the compound has a mass of 44.53 g

How many grams would release 822kJ..?

First, we have to obtain the number of moles

1 mol = 1380

x = 822

x = 0.5957 moles

Moles = Mass / Molar mass

Mass = Molar mass * moles

Mass = 44.53 * 0.5957

Mass = 26.53 g
