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>

Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

|ndeed,  Psychologist Abraham Maslow's sought to describe hierarchy in which the average (or most) humans place their needs. In other words, he believes we as humans have basic needs which we long to satisfy.

On the ranking or hierarchy, according to Maslow the need humans satisfy first is their physiological need. Here's the full hierarchy:
