Question
A gas mixture 3.67 L in volume contains C2H4 and CH4 is proportion of 2:1 by moles and is at 25C and 1 atm. If the ΔHC (C2H4) and ΔHC  (CH4) are 1400 and 900 kJ/mol find heat evolved on burning this mixture
Options:
A .  20.91 kJ
B .  50.88 kJ
C .  185 kJ
D .  160 kJ
Answer: Option C
:
C
Volume of C2H4 = 3.67×23=2.45Lit
Volume of CH4 = 1.22Lit
Mole of C2H5 = PV = nRTn = PVRT
= 1×2.450.082×298=n=0.1mole
Mole of CH4 = nCH4 = 1×1.220.082×298=0.05mole
Energy released due to combusting 1 mole C2H4=1400KJ
Energy released due to combusting 1 mole C2H4 = 1400×0.1=140kJ
Similar energy released in combusting 0.05 mole
CH4=900×0.05=45
So that heat realized = 140+45 = 185kJ/mole
