Calculate the calorific value of sugar if its heat of combustion is `5645 kJ mol^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Calorific valeu of sugar `(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) = (5645)/(342)= 16.5kJg^(-1)` (molecular mass of sugar= 342) Calorific value of sugar `(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11))` is `16.5kJ g^(-1)`
