Consider the following thermochemical equation for the combustion of acetone (C3H6O), the main ingredient in nail polish remover.
C3H6O (l) + 4 O2 (g) ---> 3 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g)
Change H degrees rxn = -1790 kJ
If a bottle of nail polish remover contains 177ml of acetone, how much heat would be released by its complete combustion? The density of acetone is 0.788 g/mL.
If you could show what formula you used and what part density plays also. I just can\'t figure out how they got to the answer: -4.30 x 10^3 kJ
