Diesel is the fuel used in diesel engines. Diesel is actually a mixture of hydrocarbons some are cyclic, but most are long chains. The average chemical formula for diesel is C12H23(1) 2. A scientist wants to determine the energy available from diesel. A sample of diesel fuel is burned in a tin calorimeter. The following data was collected from the experiment. Mass of diesel burned 3.69 g Mass of tin calorimeter 1.73 kg Mass of water in calorimeter 455 g 21.4°C Initial temperature of water 83.7°C Final temperature of water Using the experimental evidence given, determine the molar enthalpy of combustion for diesel fuel. (3 marks) Use this information to including the energy as a term in the following equation showing the combustion of diesel (1 mark) 4 C₁2H23(1)+71 O₂(g) - 48 CO₂(g) + 46 H₂O(g) Your answer
