The calculated enthalpy of formation of kerosene is 365.4 kJ and heat produced is 78650.3 kJ

For this, we need the normal enthalpy of formation given below

ΔH∘f(CO2)=−393.5kJ/molΔH∘f(H2O)\s=−241.8kJ/molΔH∘f(O2)=0kJ/mol

We shall now determine the enthalpy of kerosene formation:

H rxn = 24 mol H f (CO2) + 26 mol H f (H2O) + 2 mol H f (C12H26) + 37 mol H f (O2) + 1.50 104 kJ = 9444 kJ + 6286.8 kJ + 1500 kJ 2 mol H f (C12H26) = 730.8 kJ H f (C12H26) = 365.4 kJ

Kerosene has a density of 0.74 g/mL.

Kerosene volume (V) equals 0.63 gallons, or 0.63 x 3785.4, or 2384. 8 mL.

We shall now calculate the mass (m) of kerosene:

ρ=mVm\s=ρ×Vm\s=0.749g/mL×2384.mLm\s=1786.2g

We shall now discover the heat that 1786 generated.

Two grams of kerosene

Kerosene's molar mass is 170.33 g/mol.

The mass of two moles of kerosene is equal to 2*170.33*340.66g.

1.50104kJ of heat are generated by 340.66 g of kerosene.

1786 produced heat.

Kerosene 2 grams = 1.50 104 kJ 340.66 1786.2 g = 78650.3 kJ

Which of the following is an example of a physical change? A) grinding coffee beans B) baking a cake C) converting water to hydr
lara [203]

Answer: A) grinding coffee beans

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as a change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

A chemical change is defined as a change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

1. Grinding coffee : Only change in size takes place, thus a physical change

2. Baking a cake: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of flour with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

3.:converting water to hydrogen and oxygen: The decomposition iof water takes place, thus is a chemical change

4.Burning of coal: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of carbon with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2
