The amount of heat produced when 125 g of acetylene C₂H₂ combust in air is –6255.3 KJ
C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂ —> 2CO₂ + H₂O ΔH = –1301.1 KJ/mol
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of C₂H₂ releases –1301.1 KJ of heat energy
But
1 mole of C₂H₂ = (2×12) + (1×2) = 26 g
Thus,
26 g of C₂H₂ releases –1301.1 KJ of heat energy
From the balanced equation above,
26 g of C₂H₂ releases –1301.1 KJ of heat energy
Therefore,
125 g of C₂H₂ will release = (125 × –1301.1) / 26 = –6255.3 KJ of heat energy
Thus, –6255.3 KJ of heat energy were produced from the reaction.
