Answer #1

Weight of 10 litre of gasoline = 0.75 X 10=> 7.5 kg [ density = 0.75 kg/l]

energy released by 7.5 kg of gasoline = 7.5 X 45 MJ    [ standard value of energy released = 45 MJ/Kg]

= 337.5 MJ Answer.

For Same energy to release the amount of kerosene required is= 337.5 / 43.1 kg [standard value of energy released =45MJ/Kg

Kerosene.]

weight of kerosene required = 7.8 kg

density of kerosene = 0.8 kg/l

volume of kerosene required is= 7.8 / 0.8 L=> 9.75 L Answer.

Ethanol, C2H6O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of heptane, C7H16, is 1.151×103 kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 348 grams of heptane? Assuming the same efficiency, would 348 grams...

2. a) Calculate the amount of water (in liters) that would have to be vaporized at 40°C (approximately body temperature) to expend the 2.5×10^6 calories of heat generated by a person in one day (commonly called sweating). The heat of vaporization of water at this temperature is 574 cal/g. We normally do not sweat that much. What is wrong with this calculation? b)If you were in a reasonably well insulated camper, with a volume of about 10m^3, how much would...

How much energy does it take to completely vaporize a cow? Assume that since a cow is mostly water, the thermodynamic properties of water will do in place of the cow. Water has a specific heat of 4187 J / (kg • K), a latent heat of vaporization of 2256 kJ / kg, and a boiling point of 373 K. A cow has a mass of 650 kg and a body temperature of 311 K.

In the first lesson we talk about the heat transfer that takes place in the human body, but the same types of transfer occur for any object. For the following question, use the dimensions and characteristics of your own home. It’s reasonable to assume that walls are thick enough to block direct heat loss to radiation (without prior conduction through the walls). Windows are relatively thin in comparison and conduct more heat than walls (i.e. a double-pane glazed window has...
