Stearic acid [CH(3)(CH(2))(16)CO(2)H] is...

Stearic acid `[CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(16)CO_(2)H]` is a fatty acid the part of fat that stores most of the energy .1.0 g of Stearic acid was burnt in a bomb calorimeter . The bomb had capacity of 652 `J//^(@)C`. If the temperature of 500 g water rose from 25.0 to `39.3^(@)C` how much heat is released when the stearic acid was burned?
`["Given "C_(p)(H_(2)O)=4.18J//g^(@)c]`

A

39.21kJ

B

29.91kJ

C

108kJ

D

9.32kJ

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`q_("reaction")=q_("bomb")+q_("water")`
`=q_("reaction")=(C_(("bomb"))+(m_("water")xxc))DeltaT`
`=(652+500xx4.18)xx14.3`
`=39210J or `39.21kJ`
