Combustion of table sugar produces CO2(g) and H2O(l). When 1.46 g of table sugar is combusted in a constant-volume (bomb) calorimeter, 24.00 kJ of heat is liberated.
a. Assuming that table sugar is pure sucrose, C12H22O11(s), write the balanced equation for the combustion reaction.
b. Calculate E in kJ/mol C12H22O11 for the combustion reaction of sucrose.
c. Calculate H in kJ/mol C12H22O11 for the combustion reaction of sucrose at 25C.
