Answer:

Explanation:

For the reaction ,

2CH₃OH   +   3O₂   →   2CO₂  +  4 H₂O

For the above reaction ,

the change in enthalphy is calculated as

Δ Hrxn = Δ H°f (products) - Δ H°f (reactants)

In case the compound is in its standard state , enthalphy of formation is zero

Hence ,

for the above reaction ,

ΔHrxn =( 2 * Δ H° (CO₂ ) + 4 * Δ H° (H₂O )) - [ ( 2 *Δ H°CH₃OH  ) + (3 * Δ H° O₂ )]

Δ H° (CO₂ ) = -393.5kJ /mol

Δ H° (H₂O ) = - 241.8 kJ /mol

Δ H°CH₃OH = -239.2kJ /mol

Δ H° O₂  = 0

putting the corresponding values ,

ΔHrxn =( 2 * -393.5kJ /mol + 4 *- 241.8kJ /mol) - [ ( 2 *-239.2kJ /mol  ) + (3 *0 )

ΔHrxn = -1275.8 kJ /mol

Moles of methanol,

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = 125 g

as we know ,

m = 32 g /mol

n = 125 g /  32 g /mol = 3.906 mol

From , the reaction , 2 mol produces -1275.8 kJ /mol heat ,

Now using unitary method ,

1 mol produces = -1275.8 kJ /mol / 2  heat ,

3.906 mol produces = -1275.8 kJ /mol / 2 * 3.906 heat

3.906 mol produces = 249.7 kJ
