A35.6 g sample of ethanol (c2h5oh) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, according to the following reaction. if the temperature rose from 35.0 to 76.0°c and the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 23.3 kj/°c, what is the value of (change in enthalpy of reaction) dh°rxn ? the molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol.

Answer is: -1.24 x 103 kJ/mol the
The answer is right above so don't worry about reading all these.

We burned 35.6 g of ethanol, whose molar mass is given as 46.07 g/mol. How many moles are these? We evaluate:

Since this is an exothermic (heat-releasing) reaction, we conventionally introduce a negative sign and write:

Picture and explanation: C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O(g) ?H_ rxn = ?

-1.24 * 103 kJ/mol

+1.24 * 103 kJ/mol

-8.09 * 103 kJ/mol

-9.55 * 103 kJ/mol

+9.55 * 103 kJ/mol

Things you need to know: Enthalpy of Reaction
The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is the amount of heat released or absorbed when the reactants' bonds are broken and the products' bonds are formed. Exothermic reactions give off heat and are assigned a negative sign by convention, while endothermic ones absorb heat are carry a positive
