The final temperature of the system was found to be C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is J C. A student mixes g of water at C with g of water at C in an insulated flask. What is the final temperature of the combined water Producer gas carbon monoxide is prepared by passing air over red-hot coke e io2 g --------- co g Water gas a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is prepared by passing steam over red-hot coke C s H2O g ------- CO g H2 g For many years both producer gas and water gas were used as fuels in industry and for domestic cooking. The large-scale preparation of these gases was earned out alternately that is first producer gas then water gas and so on. Using thermochemical reasoning explain why this procedure was chosen. Compare the heat produced by the complete combustion of I mole of methane CH4 with a mole of water gas mole H and mole CO under the same conditions. On the basis of your answer would you prefer methane over water gas as a fuel Can you suggest two other reasons why methane is preferable to water gas as a fuel The so-called hydrogen economy is based on hydrogen produced from water using solar energy. The gas is then burned as a fuel 2H2 g O2 g ------- 2H2O Z A primary advantage of hydrogen as a fuel is that it is nonpolluting. A major disadvantage is that it is a gas and therefore is harder to store than liquids or solids. Calculate the number of moles of H2 required to produce an amount of energy equivalent to that produced by the combustion of a gallon of octane CgH18 . The density of octane is kg gal and its standard enthalpy of formation is kJ mol. Ethanol C2H5OH and gasoline assumed to be all octane C8H 8 are both used as .
