Step 1
The heat of combustion of methane is given as \( -885389 \, \text{J/mol} \) at \( 25^{\circ} \text{C} \) in a bomb calorimeter. We need to calculate the change in enthalpy (\( \Delta H \)) for this reaction. Show more…

When 1.605 grams of CH4, methane, is combusted using an excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, the calorimeter increases in temperature by 39.90°C. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 1.229 kJ/°C, what is the heat of combustion for methane, in kJ/mol?

Burning 1.71 g of methane [CH4(g), molar mass = 16.0 g/mol] with excess O2 raised the temperature of 244 g of H2O in a bomb calorimeter from 22.0 °C to 99.0 °C. Calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion of methane, in units of kJ/mol. (Cp,H2O = 4.184 J/g°C)

Burning 1.45 g of methane [CH4(g), molar mass = 16.0 g/mol] with excess O2 raised the temperature of 258 g of H2O in a bomb calorimeter from 22.0 °C to 94.4 °C. Calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion of methane, in units of kJ/mol. (Cp,H2O = 4.184 J/g°C)
