Nitromethane (CH3NO2) burns in air to produce significant amounts of heat. 2CH3NO2(l)+3/2O2(g)→2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)+N2(g) ΔHrxn = -1418 kJ How much heat is produced by the complete reaction of 7.68 kg of nitromethane?
2CH3NO2(l)+3/2O2(g)→2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)+N2(g) ΔHrxn = -1418 kJ
according to the reaction
122 grmas of nitromethane on produces --------------------------------------------1418kj of energy
7.68*10^3 grams of nitromethane gives ----------------------------------------------------?
= 7.68*10^3*1418/122
= 89264.26kj of energy is released
