A potato cannon provides a good example of the heat and work associated with a chemical reaction. In a potato cannon, a potato is stuffed into a long cylinder that is capped on one end and open at the other. Some kind of fuel is introduced under the potato at the capped end—usually through a small hole—and ignited. The potato shoots out of the cannon, sometimes flying hundreds of feet, and the cannon emits heat to the surroundings. If the burning of the fuel performs 855 J of work on the potato and produces 1422 J of heat, what is ΔE for the burning of the fuel?
