The value of ΔH° for the reaction below is -6535 kJ. ________ kJ of heat are released in the combustion of 16.0 g of C6H6 (l)?

2C6H6 (l) + 15O2 (g) → 12CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

Answer:

the value of H° is below -6535 kj. +6H2O

Explanation:

6H2O answer solved

For the given reaction, 2 moles of C₆H₆ the heat energy released is - 6535 KJ. Then, for 16 g of the compound or 0.205 moles needs 669.83 KJ of heat released in combustion.

Combustion is a chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent, typically oxygen, resulting in the release of heat, light, and various combustion products, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The process of combustion involves a rapid and exothermic (heat-releasing) oxidation reaction that produces a flame, which is visible in many cases.

Here, 2 moles of the hydrocarbon releases - 6535 KJ of energy.

molar mass of C₆H₆ = 78 g/mol

then no.of moles in 16 g = 16 /78 = 0.205 moles.

then energy released by 0.205 moles  = 0.205 moles × 6535 KJ /2 moles = 669.83 kJ

Therefore, the heat energy released by 16 g of the compound in combustion is 669.83 kJ.
