The heat of reaction for the combustion of propane is –2,045 kJ. This reaction is: C3H8(g) +502 (g) 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g). Determi

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=-102.7kJ/mol$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can consider that the given heat of combustion is indeed the heat of reaction since it corresponds to the combustion of propane, which is computed by using the heat formation of all the involved species as shown below:

$\Delta _cH=3*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+4*\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}-5*\Delta _fH_{O_2}$

Thus, since the heat of formation of gaseous carbon dioxide is -393.5 kJ/mol, water -241.8 kJ/mol and oxygen 0 kJ/mol, the heat of formation of propane is:

$\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=3*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+4*\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-5*\Delta _fH_{O_2}-\Delta _cH\\\\\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=3*(-393.5)+4*(-241.8)-5*0-(-2045)\\\\\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=-102.7kJ/mol$

Best regards.

We can also perform a similar calculation for the mass defect and binding energy for nuclear reactions using the masses of the a

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

$\frac{235}{92} U + \frac{1}{0} n ---->\frac{137}{52} Te + \frac{97}{40} Zr +2\frac{1}{0} n$

Hence the mass defect is;

[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]

= 236.0526 - 235.85361

= 0.19899 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J

ii) $\frac{10}{5}B + \frac{1}{0}n-----> \frac{7}{3} Li + \frac{4}{2} He + Energy$

Hence the mass defect is;

[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]

= 11.02161 - 11.0186

= 0.00301 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J

What is the mass, in grams, of 9.01 x 1024 molecules of methanol (CH, OH) ?

Zina [86]

Answer:

480.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of methanol = 9.01 ×10²⁴

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

9.01 ×10²⁴molecules ×1 mol /6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1.5 ×10¹ mol

15 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 15 mol × 32.04 g/mol

Mass = 480.6 g

How do I calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction at 25 °C ?

ladessa [460]

MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g)

Using the standard enthalpies of formation given in the source below:

(−601.24 kJ) + (2 x −92.30 kJ) − (−641.8 kJ) − (−285.8 kJ) = +141.76 kJ
So:

MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g), ΔH = +141.76 kJ
