<span>Reaction of ethane combustion:
2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g) ----> 4CO2 (g) + 6H2O
According to the reaction, we can see that </span>C2H6 and CO2 have following stoichiometric ratio:
n(C2H6) : n(CO2) = 2 : 4
If we know the number of moles of ethane we can calculate moles of carbon dioxide:
2 x n(CO2) = 4 x n(C2H6)
n(CO2) = 2 x n(C2H6)
n(CO2) = 2 x 5.4 = 10.8 mole of CO2 <span>are produced</span>
Below is the list of enthalpies of formation of the compounds involved in the chemical reaction.
HCl: -92.3 kJ/mol
H2: 0
Cl2: 0
Both H2 and Cl2 do not have enthaply of formation because they are pure substances.
Since, in the reaction there are 2 moles of HCl,
Enthalphy of formation = enthalpy of products - enthalphy of reactant/s
= 0 - (-92.3)(2) = +184.6 kJ
Hence, the answer is the first choice.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Non-metals are the species which in order to complete their octet readily gain an electron.
For example, fluorine is a non-metal with atomic number 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.
Hence, to attain stability it readily accepts an electron from a donor atom.
Some characteristics of non-metals are as follows.
Non-metals do not conduct electricity.
Non-metals are brittle in nature and they have a rough surface.
Non-metals are not malleable or ductile.
Thus, we can conclude that non-metals do not conduct electricity is a characteristic of non-metals.
