A gobar gas plant produces methane and supplies to the families. If a family requires 15000 kJ of energy per day, how many days will the quota of 20 kg will last `(Delta_(c) H of CH_(4) = -1665 kJ mol^(-1)`).

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Write down the given data - Energy required by a family per day = 15,000 kJ - Quota of methane = 20 kg - Enthalpy of combustion of methane (ΔcH) = -1665 kJ/mol ### Step 2: Convert the enthalpy of combustion to joules ...

A gobar gas plant produces methane and supplies to the families. If a family requires 15,000 kJ of energy per day, how many days will the quote of 10 kg will last ? (Delta_(c)H "of" CH_(4) = - "1665 kJ "mol^(-1))

In a gobar gas plant, gobar gas is formed by bacterial fermentation of animal refuse. It mainly contains methane and its heat of combustion is -809kJ mol^(-1) according to following equation: CH_(4) +2O_(2) rarr CO_(2)+2H_(2)O , DeltaH =- 809 kJ How much gobar gas would have to be produced per day for a small village of 50 families, it it is assumed that each family requires 20000 kJ of energy per day? The methane content in gobar gas is 80% by mass.

a. A cylinder of gas is assumed to contain 11.2 kg of butane. If a normal family needs 20000kJ of energy per day for cooking, how long will the cylinder last? Given that the heat of combustion of butane is 2658 kJ mol^(-1) .

a. A cylinder of gas is assumed to contain 11.2 kg of butane. If a normal family needs 20000kJ of energy per day for cooking, how long will the cylinder last? Given that the heat of combustion of butane is 2658 kJ mol^(-1) . b. If the air supply of the burner is insufficient (i.e. you have a yellow instead of a blue flame), a portion of the gas escape without combustion. Assuming that 33% of the gas is wasted due to this inefficiency, how long would the cylinder last?

Gobar gas obtained by bacterial fermentation of animal refuse contains mainly methane. The heat of combustion of methane to CO_2 and water (gas) is given by CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) to CO_2(g) + 2H_2O (g) + 809 kJ . How much gobar gas would have to be produced per day for a small village community of 100 families, if we assume that each family has to be supplied 20,000 kJ of energy per day to meet all its needs and that the methane content in gobar gas is 80% by weight?

A cylinder of gas is assumed to contain 11.6 kg of butane (C_4H_10) . If a normal family needs 20000kJ of energy per day, then the cylinder will last for : (Given that ΔH for combustion of butane is – 2658kJ)

The heat of combustion of butane is 2658 kl. A cylinder of LPG gas (containing only butane) is assumed to contain 14.2 kg of butane. If a normal family needs 18000 kJ of energy per day for cooking, how long the cylinder will last?

When 5 litres of a gas mixture of methane and propane is perfectly combusted at 0^(@)C and 1 atmosphere, 16 litre of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure is consumed. The amount of heat released from this combustion in kJ (Delta H_(comb) (CH_(4)) = 890 kJ mol^(-1), Delta H_(comb) (C_(3)H_(8)) = 2220 kJ mol^(-1)) is
