Problem

An intimate mixture of Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 and Al is used in solid fuel rocket. Calculate the fuel value per g and per mL of mixture. ΔHAl2O3=399.0 kcal,ΔHFe2O3=199.0 kcal\Delta H_{\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3} = 399.0 \text{ kcal}, \Delta H_{\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3} = 199.0 \text{ kcal} density of Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 and Al are 5.2 g/mL5.2 \text{ g/mL} and 2.7 g/mL2.7 \text{ g/mL} respectively.
