Explain what is the minimum amount of ethanol

Reference no: EM13517230

When an alcohol burner is used for heating, the reaction shown below occurs. If this burner is used to heat 355 mL of water from 25.0ºC to just boiling, what is the minimum amount (in grams) of ethanol (C2H5OH) that needs to be in the burner? (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gºC.)

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2 --> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)
Δh = -1081kJ/mol
