Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 44E
Although the gas used in an oxyacetylene torch (Figure 9.7) is essentially pure acetylene, the heat produced by combustion of one mole of acetylene in such a torch is likely not equal to the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene listed in Table 9.2. Considering the conditions for which the tabulated data are reported, suggest an explanation.
Figure 9.7 (a) An oxyacetylene torch produces heat by the combustion of acetylene in oxygen. The energy released by this exothermic reaction heats and then melts the metal being cut. The sparks are tiny bits of the molten metal flying away. (b) A cold pack uses an endothermic process to create the sensation of cold.
