Answer:
The chemical reaction releases 23400 kilojoules due to 1.5 kg-reactant.
Explanation:
Given the amount of energy released due to reactant consumption, total energy ([tex]Q[/tex]), measured in kilojoules, is determined by the following expression:
[tex]Q = m\cdot L[/tex]
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of reactant, measured in kilograms.
[tex]L[/tex] - Released heat ratio, measured in kilojoules per gram.
Given that [tex]m = 1500\,g[/tex] and [tex]L = 15.6\,\frac{kJ}{g}[/tex], the total energy released by chemical reaction is:
[tex]Q =(1500\,g)\cdot \left(15.6\,\frac{kJ}{g} \right)[/tex]
[tex]Q = 23400\,kJ[/tex]
The chemical reaction releases 23400 kilojoules due to 1.5 kg-reactant.
