The combustion of propane is represented by the following chemical equation. C3H8(g)+5O2(g)⟶3CO2(g)+4H2O(l) The standard enthalp

ies of formation ( ΔH∘f ) for C3H8(g), CO2(g), and H2O(l) are −103.8 kJ/mol, −393.5 kJ/mol, and −285.8 kJ/mol respectively. What is the enthalpy of combustion for propane at 25 °C and 1 atm?

Answer:

ΔH°c = -2219.9 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the combustion of propane.

C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⟶ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)

We can find the standard enthalpy of the combustion (ΔH°c) using the following expression.

ΔH°c = [3 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) + 4 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(l))] - [1 mol × ΔH°f(C₃H₈(g)) + 5 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))]

ΔH°c = [3 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) + 4 mol × (-285.8 kJ/mol)] - [1 mol × (-103.8 kJ/mol) + 5 mol × (0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH°c = -2219.9 kJ

What would be the products for the reaction Br2 + KI →? (Just identify the correct products for the reaction. You do not need to
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u> The products of the reaction will be I_2\text{ and }KBr

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The general chemical equation for the single displacement reaction follows:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

The given chemical equation follows:

Br_2+2KI\rightarrow I_2+2KBr

Bromine element is more reactive than iodine element. Thus, can easily replace iodine from its chemical reaction.

Hence, the products of the reaction will be I_2\text{ and }KBr

A vessel contains Ar(g) at a high pressure. Which of the following statements best helps to explain why the measured pressure is
Luda [366]

Answer:

4. The combined volume of the Ar atoms is too large to be negligible compared with the total volume of the container.

Explanation:

Deviations from ideality are due to intermolecular forces and to the nonzero volume of the molecules themselves. At infinite volume, the volume of the molecules themselves is negligible compared with the infinite volume the gas occupies.

However, the volume occupied by the gas molecules must be taken into account. Each <u>molecule does occupy a finite, although small, intrinsic volume.</u>

The non-zero volume of the molecules implies that instead of moving in a given volume V they are limited to doing so in a smaller volume. Thus, the molecules will be closer to each other and repulsive forces will dominate, resulting in greater pressure than the one calculated with the ideal gas law, that means, without considering the volume occupied by the molecules.

If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container  and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.

What is the empirical formula of a substance that contains 0.117 mol of carbon, 0.233 mol of hydrogen, and 0.117 mol of oxygen?
Rzqust [24]

Empirical formula of a compound gives the proportions of the elements in that compound but it does not define the actual arrangement and number of atoms.

Let the empirical formula of compound be C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}.

The ratio of number of moles of C, H and O can be calculated as follows:

C:H:O=0.117:0.233:0.117

Simplifying the ratio,

C:H:O=\frac{0.117}{0.117}:\frac{0.233}{0.117}:\frac{0.117}{0.117}=1:1.99:1=1:2:1

Thus, the value of x, y and z will be 1, 2 and 1 respectively.

Therefore, the empirical formula will be  CH_{2}O.
