The standard heat of formation of a branched alkane is -35 kcal/mol; the standard heat of formation of the unbranched version of

alkane (same molecular formula) is -28 kcal/mol. Finally, the standard enthalpy of combustion of the branched alkane is -632 kcal/mol. Given this information, what is the standard enthalpy of combustion of the unbranched alkane in terms of kcal/mol to the nearest ones?

Answer:

-625 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The method to solve this question is based on Hess´s law of constant heat of summation which allows us to combine the enthalpies of individual reactions for which we know their enthalpy to obtain the enthalpy change for a desired reaction.

We are asked to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation  of combustion of an unbranched alkane :

CnHn+2  unbranched  + O₂  ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O  ΔcHº = ?

where CnH2n+2 is the general formula for alkanes.

and we are given information for

n C+ (2n + n)/2 H₂  ⇒ CnHn+2  unbranched    ΔfHº = -35 kcal/mol     (1)

n C+ (2n + n)/2 H₂  ⇒ CnHn+2  branched        ΔfHº = -28 kcal/mol     (2)

CnHn+2  branched + O₂  ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O          ΔcHº = -632 kcal/mol  (3)

If we reverse  (1)  and add it to the sum (2) and  (3)  we get the desired equation for the combustion of the unbranched alkane:

CnHn+2  unbranched  + O₂  ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O  

Thus

ΔcHº  unbranched = + 35 kcal/mol + (-28 kcal/mol) + (-632 kcal/mol)

                                = -625 kcal/mol

How many liters of fluorine gas are needed to form 879 L of sulfur hexafluoride gas if the following reaction takes place at 2.0
Ghella [55]

Answer:

2637.3 litters of fluorine gas are needed to produce 879 litters of sulfur hexafluoride.

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of SF₆ = 879 L

Pressure = 2 atm

Temperature = 273.15 k

Volume of fluorine required = ?

Solution:

Balance chemical equation:

    S (s) + F₂(g)    →  SF₆(g)

First of all we will calculate the moles of SF₆.

  PV = nRT

  n = PV/RT

  n = 2. atm× 879L / 0.0821 L. atm. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹  × 273.15 K

  n = 1758 atm. L/ 22.43 L. atm. mol⁻¹

  n = 78.4 mol

78.4 moles of SF₆ will produce.

Now we will compare the moles of SF₆ and fluorine from balance chemical equation.

      SF₆   :   F

        1     :    3

      78.4  :   3/1 × 78.4 = 235.2 moles

Now we will calculate the volume of fluorine.

   PV = nRT

  V  = nRT / P

  V= 235.2 mol. 0.0821 L. atm. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹  × 273.15 K / 2 atm

  V = 5274. 5 / 2

  V = 2637.3 L

2637.3 litters of fluorine gas are needed to produce 879 litters of sulfur hexafluoride.
