If the heat of combustion for a specific compound is -1450.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 91.49 g/mol, how many grams of this compound must you burn to release 485.30 kJ of heat?
Given heat of combustion is -1450.0 kJ/mol
That means 1 mole of compound upon combustion releases 1450.0 kJ of heat
91.49 g of compound upon combustion releases 1450.0 kJ of heat
M g of compound upon combustion releases 485.30 kJ of heat
M = ( 485.30x91.49) / 1450.0
= 30.62 g
Therefore the mass of the compound required is 30.62 g
