Question:

A mixture of 5 g of ethane and a stoichiometric amount of oxygen is contained in a piston–cylinder device at 25° C and 1 atm. The piston moves freely without friction. A spark ignites the mixture and a complete reaction occurs at a pressure of 1 atm. The products are cooled to 25° C by the end of the reaction. Determine the following:

A. The initial volume (cm3) of the reactants

B. The masses of liquid water and water vapor in grams

C. The work transfer (kJ)

D. The increase in internal energy of the gases in the cylinder

E. The heat interaction (MJ)
