1. The combustion of methane, releases 890.4 kJ/mol of heat. That is, when one mole
of methane is burned, 890.4 kJ are given off to the surroundings. This means that
the products have 890.4 kJ less energy stored in the bonds than the reactants. Thus,
AH for the reaction —890.4 kJ. A negative symbol for AH indicates an exothermic
reaction.
A. How much energy is given off when 2.00 mol of CH4 are burned?
-890.4 kJ
2 mol x = 1780 kJ
1 mol
-
B. How much energy is released when 22.4 g of CH4 are burned?
16 g 1 mol CH4
C. If you were to attempt to make 45.0 g of methane from CO2 and H2O (with O2, also
being produced), how much heat would be absorbed during the reaction?
