Answer : The enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of pentane is -3024.8 kJ

Explanation :

Enthalpy change : It is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H^o$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]$

The equilibrium reaction follows:

$C_5H_{12}(g)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(n_{(CO_2)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2)})+(n_{(H_2O)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(n_{(C_5H_{12})}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_5H_{12})})+(n_{(O_2)}\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_5H_{12}(g))}=-119.9kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times -393.5)+(6\times -241.8)]-[(1\times -393.5)+(8\times 0)=-3024.8kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of pentane is -3024.8 kJ

<span>The enthalpy of the reaction in an aqueous solution can be determined by taking the difference between the summation of enthalpies of the products multiplied to their respective stoichiometric coefficient and the summation of enthalpies of the reactants multiplied to their respective stoichiometric coefficient. In this case, the equation is -241(6) + -393.5 (5) -[-119.9] equal to 641.4 kJ </span>

Determine which of the following pairs of reactants will result in a spontaneous reaction at 25°C. None of the above pairs will

Alla [95]

Answer:

Only $Fe^{3+}+Mg$ gives spontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential ( $E^{0}$ ) of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change ( $\Delta G^{0}$ ), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.

$E^{0}=E^{0}(reduction)-E^{0}(oxidation)$

Where $E^{0}(reduction)$ and $E^{0}(oxidation)$ represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.

(1) Oxidation: $Mg-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}$ ; $E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=-2.38V$

Reduction: $Fe^{3+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow Fe$ ; $E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}=-0.04V$

So, $E^{0}=E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=(-0.04+2.38)V=2.34V$

Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.

(2) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Pb^{2+}\mid Pb}^{0}-E_{Au^{+}\mid Au}^{0}=(-0.13-1.69)V=-1.82 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(3) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Ag^{+}\mid Ag}^{0}-E_{Br_{2}\mid Br^{-}}^{0}=(0.80-1.07)V=-0.27 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(4) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Li^{+}\mid Li}^{0}-E_{Cr^{3+}\mid Cr}^{0}=(-3.04+0.74)V=-2.30 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

Which of the following is not a possible termination step in the free radical chlorination of methane? Group of answer choices ∙

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: first option is not a termination

∙CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl∙

Explanation:

Since a radical is formed as part of the product it means it's a propagation step and not a termination step, at termination no free radical exist as product
