JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 2nd September Evening Slot - No. 5)

The heat of combustion of ethanol into carbon dioxide and water is – 327 kcal at constant pressure. The heat evolved (in cal) at constant volume and 27oC (if all gases behave ideally) is (R = 2 cal mol–1 K–1) ________.
Answer
326400

Explanation

C2H5OH (l) + 3O2(g) $$ \to $$ 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

$$\Delta $$H = –327 kcal; $$\Delta $$ng = – 1

$$\Delta $$H = $$\Delta $$U + $$\Delta $$ngRT

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\Delta $$U = – 327 + 2 × 10–3 × 300

= – 326.4 kcal

= – 326400 cal

$$ \therefore $$ Heat evolved = 326400 cal.
