A pot is made out of iron (mass=11 kg and SH capacity of .4498 J/g degree celcius) and you have 1 liter of pure water, starting with H20 at exactly 15 celcius and wanting to get it to boik, how many grams of butane gas C4H10 will need to be burned in Oxygen to cause the liter of water to boil?
(SH of H20 is 4.184 kJ/g degree celcius)
Heats of formation of :
C4H10 is -126.0 kJ/mol
CO2 is -393.5 kJ/mol
H20 (gas) is -241.8 kJ/mol
Density of H2O at 15 degrees celcius is .999103 g/mL
