An empty 3.75 L steel vessel is filled with 1.10 atm of CH4(g) and 4.40 atm of O2(g) at 300 ∘C. A spark causes the CH4 to burn completely, according to the equation: CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘ = -802kJ
Part A. What mass of CO2(g) is produced in the reaction?
Part B. What is the final temperature inside the vessel after combustion, assuming that the steel vessel has a mass of 14.185 kg , the mixture of gases has an average molar heat capacity of 21J/(mol⋅∘C), and the heat capacity of steel is 0.499J/(g⋅∘C)?
Part C. What is the partial pressure of CO2(g) in the vessel after combustion?
