Calculate the amount of heat generated by the shuttle


The space shuttle uses the oxidation of methyl hydrazine, N2H3CH3(l), for propulsion. The oxidation proceeds by the following reaction: 5N2O4(g) + 4N2H3CH3(l) --> 12H2O(g) + 9N2(g) + 4CO2(g) The standard enthalpies of formation are: methyl hydrazine +54 kJ/mol dinitrogen tetroxide +9.2 kJ/mol water (g) -242 kJ/mol carbon dioxide -394 kJ/mol Determine the amount of heat generated by the shuttle,in kilojoules, if it is carrying 608.0 kg of methyl hydrazine in its thruster. Assume that methyl hydrazine is the limiting reactant.
