Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>

Answer: -1367.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_5OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times H_f_{CO_2})+(n_{H_2O}\times H_f_{H_2O}) ]-[(n_{O_2}\times H_f_{O_2})+(n_{C_2H_5OH}\times H_f_{C_2H_5OH})]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[(2\times -393.5 kJ/mol)+(3\times -285.5 k) ]-[(3\times 0)+(1\times -276]

\Delta H=-1367.5kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -1367.5 kJ

The percent composition of calcium is ?
DochEvi [55]

Answer: 40.1%

Explanation: The mass of calcium in this compound is equal to 40.1 grams because there's one atom of calcium present and calcium has an atomic mass of 40.1 . The molar mass of the compound is 100.1 grams. Using the handy equation above, we get: Mass percent = 40.1 g Ca⁄100.1 g CaCO3 × 100% = 40.1% Ca.

PLEASE HELP!!
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. 211.7

Explanation:

Iron Pyrite reacts with Oxygen to produce Iron (II) Oxide and Sulphur (IV) Oxide.

The equation is as follows:

4FeS₂₍s₎ + 11O₂₍g₎ → 2Fe₂O₃₍s₎ + 8SO₂₍g₎

From the equation, 4 moles of FeS₂ produce 8 moles of SO₂.

Therefore the reaction ratio is 4:8 or 1:2

198.20 grams of FeS₂ into moles is calculated as follows:

Moles= Mass/RMM

RMM of FeS₂ is 119.9750g/mol.

Number of moles = 198.20/119.9750g/mol

=1.652 moles of FeS₂

The reaction ratio of FeS₂ to SO₂ produced is 1:2

Thus SO₂ produced = 1.652 moles×2/1=3.304 moles

The mass of SO₂ produced =Moles ×RMM

=3.304 moles ×64.0638 g/mol

=211.667 grams

=211.7g
