How much heat will be released during the complete combustion of 50 kg of methane?

Initial data: m (mass of completely burnt methane) = 50 kg.

Reference values: q (specific heat of combustion of laboratory methane) = 50.1 MJ / kg (50.1 * 10 ^ 6 J / kg).

The amount of heat released from the combustion of methane is determined by the formula: Q = q * m.

Calculation: Q = 50.1 * 10 ^ 6 * 50 = 2505 * 10 ^ 6 J ≈ 2.5 GJ.

Answer: With the complete combustion of 50 kg of methane, 2.5 GJ of heat will be released.
