2.4 g coal is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atm pressure.

The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 298 K to 300 K. The enthalpy change during the combustion of coal is -x kJ mol-1. The value of x is_____(Given : Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter 20.0 kJK-1. Assume coal to be pure carbon)

Answer:
200
Solution:

Cs+O2gCO2g;ΔH=-xkJ/mole

Q=CΔT=20 kJ×2

40 kJ heat is released for 2.4 g of Carbon

For 1 mole 'CarbonQ=402.4×12

=40024×12=200 kJ/mole

Q=ΔE=ΔH=200 kJ Δng=0

x=200
