Q.
The heat of formation of C12H22O11(s),CO2(g) and H2O(l) are −530,−94.3 and −68.3 kcal mol−1 respectively. The amount of C12H22O11 to supply 2700 kcal of energy is
C12H22O11(s)+12O2(g)12CO2(g)+11H2O(l)ΔHcombo=[12ΔHfo(CO2)]+11ΔHfo(H2O]−ΔHfo(C12H22O11)]=−1352.9kcal Thus, number of moles of C12H22O11 for getting 2700 kcal of heat =1352.92700=2mol=2×242=684g
