Q23 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

A gas ( Molar mass =280 g mol-1) was burnt in excess O2 in a constant volume calorimeter and during combustion the temperature of calorimeter increased from 298.0 K to 298.45 K. If the heat capacity of calorimeter is 2.5 kJ K-1 and enthalpy of combustion of gas is 9 kJ mol-1 then amount of gas burnt is____g.

Correct answer: 35

Solution

Let x g is burnt

Moles=x280 heat released by x280 mole=2.5×0.45 kJ heat released by 1 mole =2.5×0.45×280xkJ

ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT

ΔH≃ΔU

9=2.5×280×0.45x

x=35 g

Hence, the correct answer is 35.
