When 0.0801 mol of an unknown hydrocarbon is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the calorimeter increases in temperature by 2.19°C. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 1.229 kJ/°C, what is the heat of combustion for the unknown hydrocarbon, in kJ/mol?

S A T. NV

Explanation:

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Physical change is defined as a change that does not bring any changes in the chemical properties of a substance.

For example, solubility, density, volume etc are all physical changes.

When sugar dissolves in water then it is a physical change.

Whereas color change may not necessarily shows a physical change because a chemical change can also lead to color change of a solution or substance.

For example, rusting of iron is a chemical reaction in which color change also occurs.

Hence, we can conclude that a solid dissolves when added to a liquid is most clearly an example of a physical change.
