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

A monoprotic weak acid when dissolved in water is 0.66% dissociated and produces a solution with a pH of 3.04. Calculate the Ka
raketka [301]

Answer:

Ka = 6.02x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

  • HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
  • Ka = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA]

We <u>calculate [H⁺] from the pH</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}
  • [H⁺] = 9.12x10⁻⁴ M

Keep in mind that [H⁺]=[A⁻].

As for [HA], we know the acid is 0.66% dissociated, in other words:

  • [HA] * 0.66/100 = [H⁺]

We <u>calculate [HA]</u>:

  • [HA] = 0.138 M

Finally we <u>calculate the Ka</u>:

  • Ka = \frac{[9.12x10^{-4}]*[9.12x10^{-4}]}{[0.138]} = 6.02x10⁻⁶
