Answer:
Heat of combustion at constant volume,
ΔE = Heat capacity of calorimeter system× rise in temperature × Mol.mass of compound / mass of compound
= 17.7 × 0.5 × 16/0.16 = 885
ΔE = -885 kJ mol-1
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ——> CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)
Δn = 1 – 3 = -2, T = 300 K, R = 8.314 × 10-3 kJ K-1mol-1
ΔH = ΔE + ΔnRT= –885 + (–2) × 8.314 × 10–3 kJk–1 mol–1
ΔH = ΔE + ΔnRT = –885 + (–2) × 8.314 × 10–3 × 300
