1. A 10.0 g sample of propane, C3H8, was combusted in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. The total heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter and water was 8.0
kJ/°C. The molar heat of combustion of propane is -2 222 KJ/mol. If the starting
temperature of the water was 20 °C, what will be the final temperature of the
bomb calorimeter?

The final temperature of the bomb calorimeter is 82.98°C

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of the propane sample =  10.0 g

The heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter = 8.0 kJ/°C

The molar heat of combustion of propane is -2,222 kJ/mol.

The starting (initial) temperature of the water, T₁ = 20°C

The final temperature of the bomb calorimeter = T₂

The molar mas of propane = 44.1 g/mol

The number of moles, n, of propane present in 10.0 g of propane is found as follows;

Which gives;

The heat, Δh, released from the combustion of 10.0 g of propane = 0.227 × -2222 kJ/mol  

Δh = -503.85 kJ/mol  

Heat gained by the calorimeter = Heat released from the combustion of 10.0 g of propane = 503.85 kJ/mol  

Change in heat, Δh in the calorimeter = Heat capacity × Temperature change

Δh = m × C

503.85 kJ/mol = 8.0 kJ/°C × (T₂ - 20°C)

T₂ = -503.85 kJ/mol/(8.0 kJ/°C) + 20°C = 82.98°C

The final temperature of the bomb calorimeter = 82.98°C

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
