Question

For the complete combustion of ethanol,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g)→2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l) the amount of heat produced as measured in bomb calorimeter is 1364.47 kJmol^-1 at 25°C. Assuming ideality, the enthalpy of combustion, Δ_CH for the reaction will be

[R = 8.314JK ^-1mol^-1]

(a) -1366.95 kJmol^-1 (b) -1361.95 kJmol^-1

(c) -1460.50kJmol^-1 (d) -1350.50kJmol^-1
