JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jul · Shift 1, Chemistry question 84

2.4 g coal is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atm pressure. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 298 K to 300 K. The enthalpy change during the combustion of coal is −x-x kJ mol−1^{-1}. The value of xx is ______. (Nearest Integer)

(Given : Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter 20.0 kJ K−1^{-1}. Assume coal to be pure carbon)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 200

Heat 20×2=4020\times2=40 kJ for 0.2 mol C: 200 kJ mol−1^{-1} (Δn_g = 0, so ΔH = ΔU).

Answer: 200
