Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given values

We are given:

  • The heat released per gram of reactant: \( 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \)
  • The mass of the reactant consumed: \( 2.4 \, \mathrm{kg} \)
Step 2: Convert the mass of the reactant to grams

Since the heat released is given per gram, we need to convert the mass from kilograms to grams: \[ 2.4 \, \mathrm{kg} = 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g} \]

Step 3: Set up the expression to calculate the total heat produced

The total heat produced can be calculated by multiplying the heat released per gram by the total mass in grams: \[ \text{heat} = 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \times 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{heat} = 32.9 \, \mathrm{kJ/g} \times 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{g}} \]
