Ethanol (C₂H₅OH)burns according to the equation C₂H₅OH(l)+ 3O₂(g)$\rarr$2CO₂(g)+ 3H₂O(l), $\Delta$H°_rxn = -1367 kJ/mol. How much heat is released when 35.0 g of ethanol is burned?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.08 g/mol. 35.0 g of ethanol is 35.0/46.08 = 0.759 mol. The heat released is 0.759 mol * 1367 kJ/mol = 1,040 kJ.
