If \(3.365\) g of ethanol \((l)\) is burnt completely in a bomb calorimeter at \(298.15\) K, the heat produced is \(99.472\) kJ. The \(|\Delta H_f°|\) of ethanol at \(298.15\) K is ______ \(\times 10^2\) kJ mol\(^{-1}\). (Nearest integer)
Given: Standard enthalpy for combustion of graphite \(=-393.5\) kJ mol\(^{-1}\)
Standard enthalpy of formation of water \((l)=-285.8\) kJ mol\(^{-1}\)
Molar mass in g mol\(^{-1}\) of C, H, O are \(12\), \(1\) and \(16\) respectively

  1. A 3
  2. B 4
  3. C 5
  4. D 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of ethanol (\(C_2H_5OH\)) \(= 2(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 46\) g mol\(^{-1}\) Number of moles of ethanol burnt, \(n = \dfrac{3.365}{46} = 0.07315\) mol Since the combustion occurs in a bomb calorimeter (constant volume), the heat produced corresponds to the change in internal…
