Methylhydrazine, CH6N2, is commonly used as a liquid rocket fuel. The heat of combustion of methylhydrazine is −1.30 × 103 kJ/mol. How much heat is released when 206.2 g of methylhydrazine is burned? If appropriate, express your answer in scientific notion. (Click on the answer box to show the pallet.)

Answer:

[tex]-5.82\times 10^3\ kJ[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that:

The heat of combustion of methylhydrazine = [tex]-1.30\times 10^3\ kJ/mol[/tex]

It means that:

1 mole of methylhydrazine on combustion, releases [tex]1.30\times 10^3\ kJ[/tex] of energy

Molar mass of ‎methylhydrazine = 46.072 g/mol

Means that, 1 mole of methylhydrazine contains 46.072 g of methylhydrazine

Thus,

46.072 g of methylhydrazine on combustion, releases [tex]1.30\times 10^3\ kJ[/tex] of energy

Also,

1 g of methylhydrazine on combustion, releases [tex]\frac {1.30\times 10^3}{46.072}\ kJ[/tex] of energy

206.2 g of methylhydrazine on combustion, releases [tex]\frac {1.30\times 10^3}{46.072}\times 206.2\ kJ[/tex] of energy

Heat released = [tex]-5.82\times 10^3\ kJ[/tex]
