Chem Help!


No idea how to tackle this one

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g)  2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)

During an experiment 10.00 g of ethanol is completely
burned in air to release CO2(g) and H2O(g) as shown in
the equation above. During the combustion, 296.6 kJ of
heat energy is released. What is the molar enthalpy of
combustion, H˚comb?

(A) –2966 kJ•mol–1

(B) –1366 kJ•mol–1

(C) –64.36 kJ•mol–1

(D) –29.66 kJ•mol–1

You should really start by reading your textbook. You're looking for the amount of heat given off per mole of reaction....




Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

Start by calculating moles of ethanol reacted. It's super simple math from there.
