The heat of combustion of ethanol into carbon dioxides and water is –327 kcal at constant pressure. The heat evolved (in cal) at constant volume and 27°C (if all gases behave ideally) is (R = 2 cal )

Answer: -326400

Solution

ΔU = ΔH − Δ = −327000 + 2(300) = −326400 cal; the key is given as −326400.
