The main component in olive oil is oleic acid (C18H34O2). A
0.100 g sample of oleic acid was placed in a bomb calorimeter with
a calorimetry constant C = 2620 JK-1. Upon combustion the
temperature increased from 25.12°C to 31.56°C.
a. Balance the combustion reaction of oleic acid. ___
C18H34O2(l) + ___ O2(g) → ___ CO2(g) + ___
H2O(l)
b. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion for olive oil.
c.How does the enthalpy of combustion for olive oil compare to
the enthalpy of combustion for another source of energy in our
foods sucrose (C12H22O11), ΔHc, = -5645 kJ/mol? What does this
tell you about what types of foods give produce more energy per
gram?
