The compound HClO4, when placed in water, will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. Therefore, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
pH = -log[2] = -0.3
Thus, the pH of the solution is -0.3.
Answer: The enthalpy of combustion, per mole, of butane is -2657.4 kJ
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,
The expression for enthalpy change is,
Putting the values we get :
2 moles of butane releases heat = 5314.8 kJ
1 mole of butane release heat =
Thus enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.4 kJ
There are 4 significant figures! Start counting after the first non-zero digit :)
Hope this helps.
