The heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water

Reference no: EM13671965

While backpacking in the wilderness hikers often boil water to sterilize for drinking. Presume you are planning a trip and need to boil 30 L of water for your group. Explain what volume of fuel should you bring? Presume the following the fuel has an average formula of C7H16; 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water (the rest is lost to the surroundings), the density of the fuel is .78g/mL, the initial temperature of the water is 25 degrees C; the standard enthalpy formation of C7H16is -224.24kJ/mole
