Question

When methanol, CH3OH, is burned in the presence of oxygen gas, O2, a large amount of heat energy is released, as shown in the combustion reaction below.

The amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per mass, is called the fuel value. If all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of ethane (fuel value is 11.36 kcal/g) is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 20.2 C, what is the final temperature?

When methanol, CH3OH, is burned in the presence of oxygen gas, O2, a large amount of heat energy is released, as shown in the combustion reaction below. Based on the balanced thermochemical reaction above, how much heat is produced when 27.6 g of methanol react with 42.8 g of oxygen?

Explanation / Answer

32 grams of methanol react with --------------------------48 grams of oxygen

27.6 grasm of methanol react with---------------------------------?

= 27.6*48/32

= 41.4 grams of oxygen

limiting reagent is methanol

the amount of oxygen left = 42.8-41.4 = 1.4 grams of oxygen

32 grams of methanol gives ---------------------------------764 kj of energy

27.6 grams of metahnol ------------------------------------------------?

= 27.6*764/32

=658.95 kj of energy is released

limiting reagent is methanol
