Amount of heat evolved/absorbed in reaction
« on: March 24, 2009, 05:06:18 PM »
How much heat in kJ is evolved/absorbed in each of the following reactions

a. burning 15.5g of propane:
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) --> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)            :delta: H = -2219kJ

I did 0.352mol x 2219kJ / 1 for the coefficient = 781kJ evolved

b. reaction of 4.88g of barium hydroxide octahydrate with ammounium chlroide:
Ba(OH)2x8H2O(s) + 2NH4Cl(s) --> BaCl2(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + 10H2O(l)       :delta: H = 80.3kJ

Not quite sure how to deal with this?
