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>

A steel tank contains carbon dioxide at a pressure of 13.0 atm when the temperature is 34oC. What will be the internal gas press
morpeh [17]

Answer:

D. 15.8atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure = 13atm

Initial temperature  = 34°C = 34 + 273  = 307K

Final temperature  = 100°C = 100 + 273  = 373K

Unknown:

Final pressure  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply a derivation of the combined gas law taking the volume as a constant.

The expression is shown mathematically below;

        \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

P and T pressure and temperature values

1 and 2 are initial and final states

 Insert the parameters and solve for T₂;

    \frac{13}{307}   = \frac{P_{2} }{373}  

        P₂  = 15.8atm

199.5 grams unrefined dark crystalline sugar to cups
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.9975 cup  

Step-by-step explanation:

"Unrefined dark crystalline sugar" is what non-chemists call "brown sugar."

200.0 g brown sugar = 1 cup

 199.5 g brown sugar = 199.5× 1/200 .0

 199.5 g brown sugar = 0.9975 cup

A standard measuring cup is not capable of this precision and, furthermore, the mass of brown sugar you can get into a cup depends on how tightly you pack it.

Your Mole Day cake will be fine if you use 1 cup of brown sugar as usual.
