While bond energies and bond enthalpies can be used to estimate the heat of reaction (enthalpy change of a reaction), H, the heat of neutralization is the heat released when 1 mole of water is generated by the reaction of an acid and a base (reaction).

For the same type of bond, bond enthalpies differ from compound to compound. For instance, the C-H bond enthalpy in methane is nearly identical to that of ethane, butane, etc. When we look up the bond enthalpy for a C-H bond in a table of bond enthalpies, the average number that results may only be accurate to two or three significant figures.

Each compound's enthalpies of production are listed, and those numbers take into account any minor variations in the enthalpies of each bond. Therefore, the result will be more accurate if you utilize formation enthalpies rather than average bond enthalpies to compute a given reaction's enthalpy change.

Reil [10]

The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google)
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 mole of c

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Theoretical moles of V are 1.6 moles

Explanation:

The theoretical yield of a reaction is defined as the amount of product you would make if all of the limiting reactant was converted into product.

In the reaction:

V2O5(s) + 5Ca(i) → 2V(i) + 5CaO(s)

Based on the reaction, 1 mol of V2O5 needs 5 moles of Ca for a complete reaction. As there are just 4 moles, limiting reactant is Ca. As there are produced 2 moles of V per 5mol of Ca, Theoretical moles of V are:

4 moles of Ca × (2mol V / 5Ca) = 1.6 moles of V

I hope it helps!
