Consider the equation for the combustion of acetone (C3H6O), the main ingredient in nail

Step 1 of 2

The given Chemical reaction is

\(\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})+4 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \\
\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{rxn}}=-1790 \mathrm{~kJ}
\end{array}\)

We have to determine the amount of heat emitted by acetone complete combustion.

We are given that

\(\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right)=155 \mathrm{~g} \\
\mathrm{M}\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right)=58 \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{mol}}
\end{array}\)
