Answer #1

Answer

71886 kJ of heat is produced

Explanation

2CH3NO2(l) + 3/2O2(g) ------> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) + N2(g)

∆H°rxn = -1418kJ

stoichiometrically , 2moles of CH3NO2 produce 1418kJ of heat

mole = mass/ molar mass

moles of CH3NO2 = 6190g/61.05g/mol = 101.39mol

Heat produced by 101.39 moles of CH3NO2 = ( 1418kJ/2 mol )× 101.39mol = 71886kJ
